camille* Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 I translated it Where does this idea about a unique gig in France come from? I absolutely wanted to give a little foretaste this summer of my third album, which will be released at the beginning of 2012. And I also needed a break between two recording sessions, to find this energy that I don't necessarily have when I'm in the studio. Why choose Compiègne? I didn't want to do it in a place too small, and it was important for me to have this great atmosphere of outdoor gigs, a bit like in festivals. In what state of mind are you while preparing this new album? At the beginning, I didn't know how to start, I was a bit lost. I decided to start again from scratch, to forget completely where I was coming from, as if I was a new artist. It really is a new skin for me. My two albums were too much alike for my taste. I was starting to grow tired of this childish and colourful side to my songs. Maybe a lot of people will be puzzled when the album is out! Your second album did not work as well as the first one... I always think that it's impossible to manage such an impressive thing two times in a row! It's true, I sold less of it, but it still was certified 'disque de diamant', so I'm not going to complain! It's a first for you as your new single is in French. The album will be completely in English, but I also wanted to propose songs in French, as a bonus, to thank my audience. And as this song 'Elle me dit' is very summery, we wanted to reveal it now. Did the dramatic accident endured by your sister in October influence your work? It was a shock, it's just as if life was put on pause until she went out of the hospital in January. This tragedy made me realise how lucky I was, but I don't think I will talk about it in my songs one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camille* Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 I´m sorry to flood but I´ve just heard something about Mika being on NRJ radio this Friday night.. Not sure about the details but I suppose it won´t be live then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bopsterjazz Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 I SO love the idea of the singles ahead of the album! This is a great strategy as a lot of ppl (not die-hards like us) would get the album for the singles, if it was already available. This way, he should have chart success with the singles, which will then wet ppls' appitites for the rest of the opus when it comes out!Thank you to all of our great translators on MFC! I totally agree on this one! Many of the CDs I have, I only have because of one or two songs I heard on the radio. I actually didn't even realize the songs aren't released before the CDs. This is a smart idea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marilyn Mastin Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 I totally agree on this one! Many of the CDs I have, I only have because of one or two songs I heard on the radio. I actually didn't even realize the songs aren't released before the CDs. This is a smart idea! But one thing I tend not to like is this 'downloads only' trend. When WAG came out I bought the cd, and the limited edition 7" vinal disc. That means I bought it twice. Fans will download songs, but often we like something tangiable and physical, like a cd. I tend to think Mika might limit his market with the song only available as a download. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LilStar Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 but I don't think I will talk about it in my songs one day. that must be so hard to do indeed, write about these kind of things... Writting the song isnt that bad, but putting it on a CD and singing it in front of thousands of people must be hard... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mari62 Posted July 6, 2011 Author Share Posted July 6, 2011 Thank you for posting and translating girls! New interview for Metro (free newspaper) http://www.metrofrance.com/culture/mika-j-ai-envie-de-repartir-de-zero/pkgc!JgN2@R7Fv6FmHLvhBj5MQw/ Mis à jour 03-07-2011 20:45 Mika : “J’ai envie de repartir de zéro” Quelques mois avant la sortie d’un troisième album très attendu, le chanteur fera une escale le week-end prochain à Compiègne pour un concert unique. Confessions d’un artiste en quête de renouveau. D’où vient l’idée de ce concert unique en France ? Je voulais absolument donner un petit avant-goût cet été de mon troisième album, qui sortira début 2012. Et j’avais aussi besoin de faire une pause entre deux sessions d’enregistrement, de retrouver une énergie que je n’ai pas forcément quand je suis en studio. Pourquoi avoir choisi la ville de Compiègne ? Je ne voulais pas le faire dans une salle trop petite et c’était important pour moi que je retrouve l’ambiance géniale des concerts en plein air, un peu comme dans les festivals. Dans quel état d’esprit prépares-tu ce nouvel opus ? Au début, je ne savais vraiment pas comment j’allais m’y prendre, j’étais un peu perdu. J’ai décidé de repartir de zéro, d’oublier complètement d’où je suis venu, comme si j’étais un nouvel artiste. C’est vraiment une nouvelle peau pour moi. Mes deux premiers albums se ressemblaient un peu trop à mon goût. Je commençais un peu à me lasser du côté enfantin et coloré de mes chansons. Peut-être que beaucoup de personnes seront déroutées quand l’album va sortir ! Il faut dire aussi que ton deuxième album n’a pas eu le même écho que ton premier... Je me dis toujours que c’est impossible de réussir une performance aussi impressionnante deux fois de suite ! Certes, j’en ai vendu moins, mais il a quand même été certifié disque de diamant, donc je ne vais pas commencer à me plaindre ! (Rires.) C’est une grande première pour toi parce que ton nouveau single est en français… L’album sera intégralement en anglais, mais je voulais aussi proposer des chansons en français, en bonus, pour remercier mon public. Et comme cette chanson “Elle me dit” est très estivale, on voulait la dévoiler dès maintenant. L’accident dramatique vécu par ta sœur (Paloma s’est grièvement blessée en tombant d’une fenêtre, ndlr) en octobre a-t-il aussi influencé ton travail ? Ça a été un choc, c’est comme si la vie s’était mise en pause jusqu’à ce qu’elle sorte de l’hôpital, en janvier. Ce drame m’a fait comprendre la chance que j’avais, mais je ne crois pas que j’en parlerai un jour dans mes chansons. I translated it Where does this idea about a unique gig in France come from? I absolutely wanted to give a little foretaste this summer of my third album, which will be released at the beginning of 2012.

Mika nous en parle en fin de flash ! Mika: its pop but a bit more mature. It talks about life and tolerance. It makes you dance and cry at the same time. It will be called the Origin of Lve. I was to rewrite the history of the origin of love. Its 12 love songs but some are very dancy or sad or happy. We forget everything weve learned at school or in the religion or with our parents or politics. We throw it all away and rewrite the origin of love. its very free.
