Anna Ko Kolkowska Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 So could somebody post a short (or long ) report about the listening of the new album with Mika the 21st in Paris? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I read on Twitter, they all had to sign a nondisclosure agreement and aren't allowed to say anything until December 1st. I don't get it, I thought the whole point of a prelistening is that those who were there can feed all these little teasers and informations to those who weren't, to make them even more curious to finally hear those songs?! That's what we did back in 2012, I had pen and paper and wrote down what we heard, some of the things Mika said, lyric bits I remembered, and shared all that with the other fans. Of course it was different... we didn't even know the tracklist of the album at that point, it was several months before the release (July, and the release was in mid September). I think they even changed the production of Step with Me after that, at least I remembered it a lot differently than what we heard on the album later. Anyway, I don't get this secrecy. Of course they can't let people share the actual songs, but that they can't even tell what they're about, what style they are, how they sound, etc., is just weird. And even more unfair towards all the (especially international) fans who couldn't attend the prelistening. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara penny Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 in my opinion it's right because if everyone doesn't give us previews, we lose the surprise created by the new songs. In fact, I hope that Mika will tell us some curiosities about them without making us hear them all first. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awww no! I was really looking forward to reading some kind of report from the fans who went, even if it was just a little tease of something! I agree that it doesn't seem fair that they're not even allowed to talk about the sound, melody or even themes of certain songs. I'm really surprised at the secrecy too 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am wondering if there was one at that point because we should have heard a bit about it....even just seing a video of his departure after and saying good bye... which wouldn't go against what people signed....but it is so quiet Edited November 22, 2023 by crazyaboutmika 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 2012 we kept all the teasers to a specific thread, so those who didn't want to know could avoid that particular thread. It's probably harder on Twitter, but well... half of the fans want to know, the other half doesn't, but I assume this is not the reason for their secrecy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly! I was so looking forward to read some reviews... so what was the point of the whole event, since only a few people could attend and they are not allowed to tell their opinion? It's not like they secretly recorded the songs and share, only give their personal opinion. Which can be very subjective from one to another fan, so wouldn't harm the album's releasing or change any future plans At least some info about the topics of the songs, the style and rhythm, some general opinions, that would only increase the excitement overall, imo. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly they were worried that someone might just record the whole thing and leak it online. Not just by phones, it wouldn't be difficult these days for someone to go in wearing a bug for secret recording. Short of strip searching everyone on the way in, nondisclosure is probably the only legal recourse to try and prevent it. It is a shame though. But, not too long to wait now! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like people were allowed to keep their mobile. Fans took photos inside the place. So if anybody recorded some pieces of the songs Universal has to trust that it will not be used before December th 1st. Well. I can wait till then. But really what was the point of this event? Was Mika telling the stories about songs? Did he actually say something? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't find it anymore on Twitter, but someone said they didn't get to talk with him, but he told things about the songs. So I assume it was similar to the one in 2012, he told a bit about each song, and after that we had a Q&A, but we didn't get personal time with him (talking, photos, autographs). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holdingyourdrink Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 I think that it was recorded, and Mika will share it himself on TikTok the next few days. Maybe that’s why the question came what songs we would like to hear and know more about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krysady Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 I wish he would tell something about the song "30 Secondes", I'm really curious since he said it took him the longest time to write this song from all the tracks of the album.

Amy hudsone Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 The songs were released midnight French time, so we could listen to them earlier here in the US. Will it be the same for the album 🤔 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
