I recorded the audio.

 

We can hear how the album will start :-)

And the new title from the album: Bougez.

 

Mika mentioned as well that he asked Valerie Lemercier to make some "aaaa" on Jane Birkin song.

Valerie was an inspiration for the opening of the album.

And as Mika explains: no, Any is not jealous. Or rather: this is not Andy who is jealous.

So? Paris is jealous of Andy?

 

Finally managed to listen to this interview, it's always a bit confusing when there's so many little clips of it everywhere. :lol:

But it's the presenter who says the album title is Bougez, Mika says he's not saying the title? Or do I understand that wrong?

And about Moi, Andy et Paris, I think Mika says "I know he's watching, so no, Andy is not jealous!" :fisch: Oops! 🙊 :naughty:

Bougez is a title of the song which will open the album (the song for which Valerie Lemercier wrote an intro).

 

Ah sorry, I understood your post wrong because of "title" :doh:

I'm a bit confused. The first Gulf war started on the 2nd August of 1990 with Kuwait invasion by Saddam Hussein, the second Gulf war started on 2003. And these are certain dates. Why someone should say so? :dunno:

 

Edit: Maybe I've understood. The war in 1980-88 was between Iran and Iraq and it's also called Gulf war. But I found on several sites that when you refer to first Gulf war you talk about the Kuwait invasion by Iraq, while the second Gulf war started in 2003 between Usa and Iraq.

Maybe because our military was involved with it. Whenever Mika refers to the Gulf War, I have always understood him to mean this event. (When the Iraq War started in 2003, people started to refer to the 1990 war as "the first Gulf War". :dunno:)

On 10/8/2023 at 10:24 PM, mellody said:

Ah, so that one got lost in translation for me, because on German Wikipedia this is referred to as the second Gulf War, and the first one would be the 1980-88 one: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erster_Golfkrieg . I can see though that in the English as well as in the French articles it's different.

On 10/7/2023 at 4:06 PM, mellody said:

He always used to say that his father got stuck / kind of taken hostage in the American Embassy in Kuwait when Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait - which was during the 2nd Golf War in 1990. I had been wondering where he would fit in those years in London if they only moved there in 1990 and he turned 8 in 1991. Now he says that his Dad got stuck there during the first Golf War (1980 - 1988)

Yes, I think it is clear that Mika's father was held hostage in the war between 1990 and 1991. Now the problem: not all countries count the "Gulf wars" in the same way. In German, the 1st Gulf War is called the 2nd Gulf War: Der Zweite Golfkrieg (auch Erster Irakkrieg genannt, englisch (First) Gulf War oder Gulf War I, arabisch حرب الخليج الثانية, DMG ḥarb al-ḫalīǧ aṯ-ṯāniya): https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zweiter_Golfkrieg

And in German, the war between Iran and Iraq from 22 September 1980 and until 20 August 1988 is called the 1st Gulf War.

Mika was today in the radio Tendance Ouest.

There was as well 10 or 12 fans who won invitations for it.

 

I don't find a podcast yet.

Here is my audio recording.

Part 1 - the interview.

Part 2 - Mika singing C'est la vie and saying goodbye.

Sorry the files are in a wrong order. The longer one (23 minutes) is the part 1.

I am not able to change the order.

 

(EDIT FROM @dcdeb  I've changed the order for you!)

So I just listened to the interview. The most interesting bit (of the ones I understood) to me was that his album is influenced by English Pop - Pet Shop Boys, Bee Gees, Elton John - , just in French. :wub2: And that it's not melacholic and not about his Mum. Wait... not melancholic? Did he actially write happy lyrics this time? :blink: Or does he  just mean, not sounding melancholic? :teehee:

 

The presenter talked about the album cover and compared Mika to an angel, which obviously was NOT what he had in mind, judging from his reaction. :naughty: But from what I understood, he didn't say what inspired it, he just talked about Mat Maitland.

 

And he said his Atelier is like Charlie's Chocolate Factory, just that he doesn't like chocolate, but he loves being surrounded by art, fashion, etc.

I have to listen a second time, but I think all these people are his idols. He said you needs idols even at 40 or 50..... Or more 😉

He also talked about "bougez"

He found the lyrics during a boring concert at "les folies bergères"  ( didn't droped the artist's name ....:naughty: ) based on a conversation he had with Valérie Lemercier

Au Mans, le chanteur Mika en visite-éclair chez Sweet FM

À quelques semaines de la sortie de son nouvel album, l’artiste aux mélodies pop et dansantes était jeudi 19 octobre 2023 dans les studios de Sweet FM au Mans, en présence d’une vingtaine de fans.

 

Dans une tenue sage et sobre, le chanteur Mika a passé une petite heure dans les studios de la radio Sweet-FM, au Mans (Sarthe), ce jeudi 19 octobre 2023. Au micro de Jonathan Lateur, il a évoqué la « résistance poétique » contenue dans sa chanson C’est la vie, où il rend hommage à sa mère décédée.

 

Plus léger, il a raconté devant une vingtaine de fans, ses concerts, ces moments où il « se sent connecté aux gens autour de lui et plus humain ». Enfin, comme il note dans un carnet tous les restaurants dans lesquels il a (bien) dîné, il assure être capable de « recommander une bonne table dans les grandes villes du monde ».

Thanks! So did he just say these are his idols or also that the album was influenced by these sounds? I sometimes wonder if my basic French knowledge is better or worse than not understanding French at all, because I keep understanding things wrong. 🙈

 

What does he say at the beginning about why he's feeling really really good right now? I assume it's because things are going well for him, but I don't understand what he says. Only that he gets tired by 9pm (probably because he's working so much).

I listened while doing something else , so I can't say that I'm 100% sure , but I don't think that he said he was inflenced by his idols for this album

 

At the beginning he said that he feels good because the wheel is starting to turn .

In French it's often used to say that good things or luck arrives after bad ones.

But it also could mean that the process of this new area is starting

At the beginning he said that he create very intimist lyrics but not melancholic or sad, with on the contrary an influence of English pop. He said that he tried to include all the influence of the pop he loved when he was young, in French lyrics. It was a challenge for him 😁
