cathouzouf Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Thank you LilStar for your translation! And yes, it does sound a little autobiographical, don't you think? I'm sure Mika's album is going to be diverse and this is just a warm-up - a catchy dance song (which I love by the way). Now I SO CAN'T WAIT TO SEE HIM IN COMPIEGNE!!! He sais in one of his inertview today that he wrote it starting with some of the things his mom was telling him earlier. Then had fun and play with it:wink2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MIKA_OBESSED Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 I love the song! It's something new, which is something that I really like about Mika's music in general, because it never gets boring. I like the dance-y beat, but I think it's just a little autotune-y (these words I'm making up xD). But overall I love the song! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruth Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Thanks for the translation, Lilstar, I decided to spend the day listening over and over until I understood it all, but wasn't getting there. Has anyone written the French lyrics out please? I'm better at reading than listening. My first impression of the opening seconds was that it' was a straight copy from something/someone else. My long suffering son who has had to listen to my replay, replay, replay, says it has a sound like 'Brimful of Asha' too. But I like it and it's a great dance track.

racinghorse83 Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 I'm feeling the Mika magic, like the absolute delicious sparkly tangible magic, that I haven't felt since 2009 when I saw him live. Aaah, I actually have the shivers. So happy now. I'll stop being the bitter cynical fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lollipop_monkey Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 That's it, Christine! Adulescent is a contraction of 'adolescent' and 'adult'. Do you have an equivalent word in English? I've heard some people use "kidult" - a blend of "kid" and "adult." Not my favourite Mika song - too dancy and over-produced for me. I prefer Mika "au naturelle" I think the real loss is the synthed-up vocals. Rain and Relax are dancy too, but at least they showcase that he can sing like very few others can. I think what they've done to his vocals makes him sound like any other mediocre singer. My long suffering son who has had to listen to my replay, replay, replay, says it has a sound like 'Brimful of Asha' too. Pretty sure I like 'Brimful of Asha' better.
