When is mika next album

Along the way, Mika — a cunning multilinguist who was born in Beirut, raised in Paris, and reared in London — came out officially. To rediscover that precocious, unfettered love of pop after spending much of the past few years as a TV judge on The Voice in France and Italy, Mika got back to basics, built a home studio, and took two years to write and record with an entirely new production team.

I wrote it mostly in Miami. I have a house there I bought years and years ago. And every time I made any money, I put it in there, which was probably a very bad investment. But I did it just because I felt like it was saving an old lady. And I built the studio in that house. Is he still in there, or are you just going identity-mad again? It was about reconnecting with that, with me, with Mika. Like rediscovering me and forgetting about the work — about everything from weird TV experiences to touring to commercial surprises and successes and failures, all those things rolled into one, just forgetting all of that shit.

Getting back to this year-old sitting in front of his piano, writing songs, thinking in color and imagery, and trying to write songs about it. Are there particular artists or musical tropes that were inspirational in making the album? Sure, I was excited to have a new team, from the engineer, who is the other musician, the unofficial member of the band, to the producers, who I love: I think Mark Crew is an English tech nerd, one of the next really big British producers.

In terms of influences, I wanted music that was really warm and full of color. So inevitably, I was drawn to the Eighties and Nineties. And that sensuality in music — and not just a sexual sensuality, but sensuality — was something so present in the Seventies and Eighties. And then the Nineties became about commercialism and moved away from this kind of sexy Warholian version of pop to actual pop.

We went from pop to popular, and few things could be further from each other. Tell us about Michael Holbrook in terms of your American roots. I had this itching desire. I knew that I had to confront certain things and kind of reopen the gate again. The truth is that for a couple years the door was shut. So I built a new studio. A really simple studio.

And then I got into a car with my dogs and drove from Miami to Savannah, Georgia. Because I had to find out something new about myself, I had to provoke myself. The Adamses and the Pennimans. And so it was kind of a weird thing. Some damn corpse is in there with my name! Was that conscious?

I think how when I was younger the heat was always something that was just kind of glorious. Especially in the United States, in a kind of Northern American culture, dance pop is full of nonsense. But I love writing dance pop if it also has some of these things built into it. After your North American shows, you move on to bigger arenas in Europe.

The people who come to see me here really know the music. I like Unknown Mortal Orchestra. I love the kind of world that I can step into on a Tame Impala record. During one song he jumped into the crowd by himself and during another he silenced the crowd and sang without a microphone!! Every song was performed with equal enthusiasm. I had such a fun time I miss it already.

He put on the most wonderful show that I have ever been to, his energy is infectious, they way he interacted with the crowd was outstanding, but most of all the surprises he added to his show were amazing - I felt truly blessed to have been there for it.
