My Italian lessons are going well when I can understand the majority of the lyrics! 😁 I get the impression that she is very much a pop artist too, going to be interesting hearing her voice with Mika's 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mellody Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 From the videos & songs I've skipped through, she and her music seem kinda superficial and trivial... but I don't understand the lyrics, and know nothing about her, so maybe that's just the first impression, trying not to judge her by that - and always curious about new Mika music, of course. Tho if I understand it right, it's just her who wrote the song and he only sings on it? Edit: btw, I just remembered the K and M in a heart on a dusty car in his stories, which we've been wondering about - as there's a heart on the cover, maybe it was a hint to this collab? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: btw, I just remembered the K and M in a heart on a dusty car in his stories, which we've been wondering about - as there's a heart on the cover, maybe it was a hint to this collab? Mika helped co-write the song, according to this, which I've seen in several blogs/articles -- maybe it's from a press release: Prodotta da Dardust e scritta da Baby K e Mika insieme a Fulminacci e Jacopo Ettorre, Bolero ci presenta delle inedite sfumature vocali della cantautrice, accompagnando i fan dell’artista all’interno di un percorso ben definito che l’artista ha intrapreso negli ultimi anni. Il nuovo singolo sarà ufficialmente rilasciato su tutte le piattaforme di streaming da questo venerdì, 17 giugno, già disponibile in pre-save e in pre-add. Ora che l’attesa si fa sempre più palpabile, non ci resta che attendere qualche giorno per ascoltare in anteprima questo brano, che si preannuncia già hit dell’estate 2022. Produced by Dardust and written by Baby K and Mika together with Fulminacci and Jacopo Ettorre, Bolero presents the singer-songwriter's unprecedented vocal nuances, accompanying the artist's fans along a well-defined path that the artist has undertaken in recent years. The new single will be officially released on all streaming platforms from this Friday, June 17th, already available in pre-save and pre-add. Now that the wait becomes more and more palpable, we just have to wait a few days to preview this song, which already promises to be a hit of summer 2022. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

giraffeandy Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 (edited) To be honest, I am usually not a fan of Mika's collabs and this one probably won't be an exception... It sounds more like a Baby K song (which is fair, since Mika is just the feature artist) but I don't even like his part in the song that much (it's not bad but it doesn't make the song that much better for me, it feels a bit overproduced...). I'll give it a few more listenings but I guess this song just isn't for me. Edited June 17, 2022 by giraffeandy 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellody Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 I'm actually positively surprised by the song, it's better than I expected. I don't understand much of the lyrics - from the last sentence maybe it goes in the direction of Yoyo, dancing on the heartbeat - just Bolero instead of Yoyo. Well it sounds like a summer hit. And I love the bits where Mika sings in a deeper voice. Dunno if they're making a video for it, but if they do, I hope it's not like her other videos but more Mika-ish. Like Ice Cream, which wasn't just half naked dancers on the beach but had these funny parts like with the melting car. I think that's the devilish wink that Mika often refers to, which turns a typical summer hit video into something special. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TinyLove_CJ Posted June 17, 2022 Author Share Posted June 17, 2022 I've listened to this song a few times now and it's definitely not my favourite collab. It's not a bad song but it's not great either. I don't really get the lyrics, what's with "where the sun meets the lion"?!, and I think autotune has been used which Mika doesn't need! Even the beat is just... meh :/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
