"I never participates in this kind of show, he admits. But,when the production told me what she wanted to do, and when I saw how their approach was sincere, I felt they were not looking only to receive an artist on their shelf. They wanted to create something good.

"The summer tours give me the opportunity to make music the center of the show. As we perform outside, we focus on the relationship between the public, music and me. This is not as dramatic as when we perform in an arena or theater. " Experience Mika The tour will also be the perfect opportunity for Mika to present the songs that will be on his third album The Origin of Love, which is expected at the end of the summer. "I will test new songs but also sing the best songs on both discs before, he said. Having three albums, this is a new feeling. It really changes things. Now I can choose the songs that I believe are the best. " The artist will revisited his biggest hits with a "new sound and new energy." For this, he will be accompanied by a new team of five musicians. "I want the audience that comes to my concert is transported into another world for two hours, he said. If I want people to live a real experience, they begin to dance, then crying, then laughing, I just had a separation between spectacle and reality. It was always my thing. " Mika said he loves make shows during festivals. "People are already immersed in a special atmosphere. They are also already in their minds. " Even if the focus will be on music, the artist promises a show that will be "visually delicious." "We need people to be impressed and surprised. " Album in construction Mika, who said he had taken time to prepare his third album to make sure that it is successful, explains that this new album does not fall in the line of his first two albums Life in Cartoon Motion and The Boy Who Knew Too Much. "When I made my first record, I was in a bubble. I needed to feel certain things and getting lost in a fantasy world. It's been done without any commercial purpose, he says. What happened with the second album changed my life. People had told me during the creation of my first record, it was crap, but when they realized I was getting success, they asked me to do the same again. I then isolated. In six months, I wrote a beautiful album, but it was the continuation of the first. " For the creation of The Origin of Love, Mika needed movement. Thus he found himself in Montreal, among others, where he worked with Nick Littlemore of the duo Empire of the Sun. The artist, who also collaborated with Pharrell Williams and Klas Åhlund (Teddybears), has taken five months before returning home. "I'm surrounded by very talented people. What results is music that will make people happy, he says. As a musician, I feel I have followed my own way. This album does not follow any fashion. It does not sound like anything you can hear on the radio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guylainem123 Posted May 20, 2012 Author Share Posted May 20, 2012 Here is an english article about Mika & the festival: http://www.newswire.ca/en/story/966861/mika-and-simple-plan-at-the-international-balloon-festival-of-saint-jean-sur-richelieu Mika and Simple Plan at the International Balloon Festival of Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu SAINT-JEAN-SUR-RICHELIEU, QC, May 3, 2012 /CNW Telbec/ - The International Balloon Festival is proud to announce the first internationally acclaimed artists who will play the Loto-Québec stage for its 29th edition. No less than the winner of the 2012 NRJ Music Awards International Male Artist of the Year award, Mika will charm festival goers August 15. Then, three years after their electrifying concert in 2009, Simple Plan will make a triumphant return August 16. Mika With his French language mega-hit «Elle me dit», viewed 21.2 million times on YouTube, Mika will be back in Quebec after enchanting the audience during a spectacular gala performance on the Star Académie finale earlier this spring. There will be no resisting his dance-beat pop music sound that will sweep through the International Balloon Festival! Rocketing to the top of the international music scene through his huge hits "Relax, Take it easy" and "Grace Kelly" Mika, whose real name is Michael Holbrook Penniman, is a Lebanese singer-songwriter, born in Beirut on August 18, 1983. He was raised in Europe since childhood, first in Paris then London. Having sold over 7 million albums worldwide to date, Mika is poised to continue his reign as a pop music superstar with the upcoming release of his third album The Origin Of Love partially recorded in Montreal. Simple Plan Originally from Montreal, the pop-punk band has achieved world-wide success. They will perform songs from their latest album, Get Your Heart On! including Jet Lag, This Song Saved My Life and Summer Paradise, a song well on the way to being the biggest hit of the summer with more than 2.5 million views on YouTube. Despite resounding global success, including their 7.5 million albums sold since 2002, we expect a great homecoming from their Quebec fans! The five members of Simple Plan, singer Pierre Bouvier, Chuck Comeau (drums), David Desrosiers (bass), Sebastien Lefebvre (guitar) and Jeff Stinco (guitar) no longer need any introduction. For ten years, their greatest hits (Welcome To My Life, Worst Day Ever, I'm Just a Kid, etc.) have been heavily played on the radio. The International Balloon Festival of Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, presented by Laurentian Bank in collaboration with Loto-Quebec, returns in full force with its 29th edition which will be held from August 11th to 19th, 2012.
