我们盼来了今年BBC Sound 2007的获奖者Mika的个人专辑了，这位黎巴嫩裔的歌手已经让无数人开始用许久不见的字眼来形容他的嗓音，不过把他的狂放的演唱比作Freddie Mercury我看也不是很过分。他的首支单曲已经在冠军位置上待了三个礼拜了，无论是不是打破四周的纪录，Mika都已经证明他是近年来最成功的新人，也是两年失误之后，BBC预测正确的明日之星。Mika的这张Life in Cartoon Motion已经不完全是一张专辑了，他是一张masterpiece，每首歌曲都充满了Mika的个人魅力，就是今年年底才发行这张专辑，我也觉得等待完全值得。Grace Kelly的确让人想起Queen的许多音乐，那种史诗般的感觉，那种真正活在音乐中的个性，Mika的演唱是无与伦比的，更无与伦比的是这张专辑的音乐，在Grace Kelly之后的第二首单曲还是同样歌剧般的歌曲Love Today，也许不是第二首单曲的最佳选择，不过Mika的演唱要来的比Grace Kelly更加大胆，假声的演唱都胜过了Scissor Sisters，实际上，歌迷们比较喜欢的还是另外一首歌曲，他是专辑中最佳，最与众不同，最有力量的作品，那就是Relax, Take It Easy。想象一下当年Scissor Sisters走红的歌曲Comfortably Numb，Relax, Take It Easy是一首原创的Comfortably Numb，虽然不是专辑的第二单曲，单曲已经出现了英国下载排行榜上了，放下了华丽的外衣的是My Interpretation，Daniel Powter一般的抒情歌曲，没有美轮美奂的假声，没有复杂的电子，有的只是比较真诚的原来的Mika，Lollipop则更加像是一首音乐剧的歌曲，中速的节奏，catchy的旋律，咬字有特别的清晰，Mika的音乐从某种意义上说是一种做秀，他把一切能够的元素都运用起来，比如在Any Other World中，弦乐让你的心跳加速，而歌曲的环境又像是Mad World一般的黑暗，结尾的Happy Ending同样不容错过。

Multi-platinum pop-star MIKA returns with his brand new album 'The Origin of Love', released on Island Records on September 16th 2012.
Following up his multi-million selling worldwide smash 'The Boy Who Knew Too Much' (which debuted in every single i-Tunes top ten around the world), 'The Origin of Love' is Mika's third album and will be preceded by an anthemic brand new single 'Celebrate', an epic slice of cool modern pop destined to be a global summer soundtrack, written by Mika and Pharrell Williams, produced by Nick Littlemore from Empire of the Sun and also featuring Pharrell on vocals.
Completely self-created and self-imagined, 'The Origin of Love' has been a two-year DIY labour of love for Mika who has put together everything on the record himself, flying around the world under his own steam personally assembling an incredible roll call of collaborators - in addition to Nick Littlemore and Pharrell Williams Mika has also worked with William Orbit, Benny Benassi, FrYars, Greg Wells (Katy Perry, Adele), Klas Ahlund (Robyn's Body Talk) as well as working with some brand new unsigned musicians he found himself online.
"This single is what happens when you combine a 22 year old you find online, Fryars, with an extra-planetary Nick Littlemore and Pharrell Williams!" says Mika of 'Celebrate'. "Written by me, Pharrell and Fryars and produced by Nick, this kind of collaboration is only possible when everyone throws themselves into it wanting to have fun and without any ego. This collective and open attitude was at the heart of 'The Origin Of Love'. It's an album about crazy love songs and tolerance. It was recorded in Miami and London but mostly in Fryars' north London bedroom studio!"
A further Mika composition from the album writing sessions 'Gang Bang' features exclusively on Madonna's new 'MNDA' album, a track which she has widely praised as her favourite song on the record.
Mika spent most of 2010 and 2011 on a massive Global tour playing over hundreds of shows to sell-out audiences across Europe, Asia and North America. He returns with a brand new live show, performing at Heaven in London on 26th July.
Mika has now sold over 8 million records and Gold or Platinum awards in 32 countries worldwide across his previous two albums 'Life in Cartoon Motion' and 'The Boy Who Knew Too Much', winning Brit and MTV Awards in the process.

Lebanese-British singer-songwriter MIKA continues shaping his upcoming fourth studio album, scheduled to be released sometime this year via Republic Records and Universal Music Group.
