Szara. Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Mika looked great. Does it just seem to me that he forgot the words to Billy Brown? He also said something about the new album. There were also lots of funny moments. I guess he made it a little to sing anything because he told the bastards. It was nice to see Him. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loo Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 (edited) https://www.wired.it/play/musica/2018/09/30/mika-album-wired-next-fest/ A Firenze, dove è salito sul palco del Wired Next Fest nella giornata conclusiva di eventi tra l’entusiasmo generale, Mika è di casa e non è un’esagerazione dirlo. Lo scorso gennaio, infatti, il cantante di origine libanese ha ricevuto dal sindaco della città Dario Nardella a Palazzo Vecchio l’onorificenza delle chiavi della città. Il Wired Next Fest come ottima occasione per essere a Firenze e parlare di musica, del suo sound, raffinato ma semplice e capace di toccare i cuori del pubblico. Uscita rara, perché, come confermato dall’artista, “sono nascosto perché dopo tutti questi anni di tv, voglio scrivere, rimettere tutto in ordine; sono uscito pubblicamente solo due volte prima del Fest”. Anche per un artista di fama, e di livello globale, come Mika, la semplicità, tema di questa edizione del Wired Next Fest fiorentino, è un argomento complesso, nella musica ma anche nel privato. Come ammette davanti alla platea del Salone dei Cinquecento, semplicità è “la parola più complicata nel mondo, ci vuole tantissimo per arrivare alla semplicità; è la sfida più grande della mia vita, trovarla in una canzone ma anche in una decisione emotiva“. Il cantante sta finendo la scrittura del suo nuovo album, “diventerà la mia vita per i prossimi tre anni”. Uscirà nel 2019, ha iniziato a scriverlo due anni fa. Sarà un album estremamente personale, dichiara il cantante, “dirò cose molto intime, sarà super pop e super colorato, non so come andrà, è diverso da quello che gira ora in radio. Dirò cose che non ho mai detto, neanche nelle interviste”. L’ultimo album da studio risale al 2015, No Place in Heaven; finita la scrittura procederà con la produzione; per l’occasione ha chiamato anche i collaboratori più stretti a venire a lavorare in Italia, dove bilancia gli impegni professionali con altre cose più terrene e semplici ma solo apparentemente. Eppure, tornando ancora sul tema della semplicità, afferma che “una cosa semplice non esiste, per essere semplici finiamo per fare le generalizzazioni. La semplicità non esiste proprio, la vita è complicata; ma se trovi una chance di capire tutto il casino che c’è attorno a te, puoi organizzarti e reagire più chiaramente agli eventi. La nostra filosofia personale dà senso alla vita, diversamente non ne ha”. Gli anni passano e i vantaggi della tecnologia, nella musica, fanno il paio con i ricordi e le differenze dei primi anni di professione. Racconta infatti al pubblico: “Il mio primo album l’ho scritto a casa, le demo sono diventati dischi. Ora ho deciso di tornare a scrivere un album intero a casa, negli States. Ma amo essere anche in Europa e scrivere qui. Con la tecnologia registri il primo riflesso di un pezzo e catturare la nascita di un pezzo è bello. Ho visto personalmente il salto tecnologico, che c’è stato, prima c’erano più decisioni da prendere, ma anche più cura; oggi è diverso, da un lato è più semplice, dall’altro”. Percepito come artista legato anche all’Italia, perché anche nel nostro Paese vive e lavora, Mika non nega anche una battuta sull’attualità e sulla percezione di un certo cambiamento italiano. Riconosce che “in certi modi sì, l’Italia è cambiata. Mi sono trovato in un paese con un mix, che mette assieme Nord e Sud, per me questo corridoio europeo è enorme parte della bellezza italiana. Mi trovo bene in questa topografia culturale, da anglo-libanese. Non mi piace la cultura della paura che vedo, cultura della paura, della malainformazione, ma non succede solo qui”. Per i fan non resta che ingannare l’attesa, anche perché Mika non ama molto rivelare troppo, in particolare sulle piattaforme social, in quanto “mi dà ansia questa interface; scrivi una cosa e c’è una reazione subito, è una sorta di tortura mentale. Qualsiasi cosa tu possa dire, non hai tempo di argomentare”. Spoiler In Florence, where he took to the stage of the Wired Next Fest on the final day of events with general enthusiasm, Mika is at home and it's no exaggeration to say. Last January, in fact, the singer of Lebanese origin received from the mayor of the city Dario Nardella at Palazzo Vecchio the honor of the keys to the city. The Wired Next Fest as an excellent opportunity to be in Florence and talk about music, its sound, refined but simple and able to touch the hearts of the audience. Rare release, because, as confirmed by the artist, "I'm hidden because after all these years of TV, I want to write, put everything back in order; I came out publicly only twice before the Fest. Even for an artist of fame and global level, like Mika, simplicity, the theme of this edition of the Florentine Wired Next Fest, is a complex subject, in music but also in the private sector. As he admits in front of the audience of the Salone dei Cinquecento, simplicity is "the most complicated word in the world, it takes a lot to get to simplicity; it's the biggest challenge of my life, to find it in a song but also in an emotional decision". The singer is finishing writing his new album, "it will become my life for the next three years". It will be released in 2019, he started writing it two years ago. It will be an extremely personal album, says the singer, "I will say very intimate things, it will be super pop and super colorful, I don't know how it will go, it's different from the one that runs on the radio now. I'll say things I've never said, not even in interviews". The last studio album dates back to 2015, No Place in Heaven; once the writing is over it will proceed with the production; for the occasion he called even the closest collaborators to come and work in Italy, where he balances the professional commitments with other more earthly and simple things but only apparently. Yet, returning again to the theme of simplicity, he states that "a simple thing does not exist, to be simple we end up making generalizations. Simplicity doesn't exist at all, life is complicated; but if you find a chance to understand all the mess around you, you can organize yourself and react more clearly to events. Our personal philosophy gives meaning to life, otherwise it doesn't. The years pass and the advantages of technology, in music, make the pair with the memories and the differences of the first years of profession. He tells the audience: "I wrote my first album at home, the demos have become records. Now I've decided to go back to writing a whole album at home, in the States. But I also love being in Europe and writing here. With technology you record the first reflection of a piece and capture the birth of a piece is beautiful. I personally saw the technological leap, that there was, before there were more decisions to make, but also more care; today it is different, on the one hand it is simpler, on the other". Perceived as an artist also linked to Italy, because even in our country he lives and works, Mika does not deny a joke about the current situation and the perception of a certain Italian change. She acknowledges that "in some ways, yes, Italy has changed. I found myself in a country with a mix, which brings together North and South, for me this European corridor is a huge part of Italian beauty. I feel at home in this Anglo-Lebanese cultural topography. I don't like the culture of fear that I see, the culture of fear, of bad information, but it doesn't happen only here". For the fans all that remains is to deceive the wait, also because Mika doesn't like to reveal too much, especially on social platforms, because "this interface gives me anxiety; you write something and there's a reaction right away, it's a sort of mental torture. Whatever you can say, you don't have time to argue. Edited September 30, 2018 by Loo 3 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
