Mika Talks About New Album at Mawazine

[dcdeb]

It's an interview that's a mix of both English and French -- maybe someone could help translate the French bit? Please?

He doesn't give informations about the new album when he speaks french. Nothing new. Someone else who's not lazy like me wants to translate ?

Sightly sad that those rockets hit Beirut probably around the time he was saying this. But...

 

I can't do a full translation, but indeed there's not too much news in there.

 

He talks about how his albums represent different parts of his life, like a private diary, and as far as I understand also says that's why they take a while to make.

 

Then he talks about singing EMD on stage and at first not getting any reaction.

 

Then there's a bit that someone perhaps would care to translate in more detail, or at least check my translation, because he says something about how you need freedom for culture and music.

 

I think that in music and culture, we find total freedom. That's certain, we find tolerance and freedom. Culture without freedom doesn't exist. Music without freedom doesn't exist. It becomes a horrible thing. And that's why it is important to have ??? like that/this.

 

I think this is what he says, and I really like it, but then it's in French, so it's very well possible I misunderstood...

If it's what he said,then it's really beautiful,as a person living in a dictatory I can understand exactly what he means.

One thing is DEFINITE.

He said that the new album will HOPEFULLY be ready next year, so I think by that we can take that it probably may not be.

When he says before the end of the year, it means that it's gonna be next year. If he says that it's gonna be ready next year, maybe we'll have this new album for 2015. Hopefully.

A REVIEW of the show and press conference @ Festival Mawazine 2013

 

http://www.lematin.ma/express/-Mika-a-OLM-Souissi-_Le-show-2013-different-de-celui-de-2010-/182742.html

 

«Le concert de l'édition 2013 différent de celui de 2010, parce qu'à l'époque, j'ai chanté un seul album. Or maintenant, j'ai trois albums à présenter», a assuré à la presse Mika, qui donne dimanche soir un spectacle sur la scène OLM Souissi.

 

L'auteur-compositeur de pop britannique et français, qui avait enthousiasmé et même enfiévré la foule lors de son premier passage au Festival en 2010, a dit garder de «bons souvenirs» de ce spectacle, durant lequel il a chanté son premier single «Relax, take it easy» et ses premiers titres «Love Today», ou encore «Grace Kelly».

 

A cet effet, l'artiste d'origine libanaise n'a pas dissimulé son enthousiasme de chanter encore une fois au Maroc, confiant qu'il ressent de «la pression» surtout après le succès de son premier concert à Rabat.

 

D'autre part, Mika a considéré que toutes ses chansons sont l'expression de ce qu'il vit tous les jours. «Ma musique et mes chansons sont un journal intime de ma vie», a confié ce chanteur de 30 ans, qui attribue son succès à «la joie de vivre» prêchée dans ses tubes sous l'influence de sa culture libanaise.

 

Prié de dire s'il compte monter des projets en commun avec des artistes arabes, Mika a souligné qu'il aimerait bien travailler avec les créateurs du monde arabe, après son expérience réussie avec la chanteuse Karol Sakr lors de l'émission télévisée musicale «Coke Studio».

 

Il a, en outre, révélé qu'il prépare «un projet musical qui sera basé à Beyrouth» et qui rassemble plusieurs genres musicaux en trois langues (anglais, français et arabe). Mika a également confié qu'il envisage de faire un album, représentant le «mélange trilingue» qui agrémente sa vie et ses ouvres artistiques.

 

Et de lancer : «J'aimerais bien faire un album, reflétant comment j'ai grandi et mon voyage de Liban vers la France et enfin la Grande Bretagne. Utiliser les trois langues est essentiel».

I`m pretty sure "year" means mikayear . Aka "Mikasoon":wink2:

 

(sigh)

[IngievV]

Yessssss! New album in 2016!

That's still quick for Mika. He usually takes yeeeeeeeeears.

But it's always mikasoon.

And there's an hour long YouTube Vid of his concert. I though there was a time constraint?
