I know i've resolved to confine this blog principally to Translation Studies subjects rather than personal ones, but it just occurred to me that there is something music-related I need to share: Mika's new, second album, The Boy who Knew Too Much, which I treated myself to the other day, is absolutely BRILLIANT!
His first album was so fab that I thought it would be a very hard act to follow, and that his second album would therefore not be quite as brill. But he has proved me wrong, so wrong! I can't stop playing it. His current single from the album, We Are Golden, which features a children's choir, belongs to his special style of catchy, retro pop, and is trademark Mika. But my favourite track is track three, Rain, which a friend suggested to me will probably be his next single, and I would agree. It's as good as Grace Kelly, if not better.
If anything describes Mika's music in a nutshell, it is the phrase infectiously catchy. As well as the uptempo, catchy, screaming electropop, though, he also has some lovely ballads and a beautiful duet on this new album (can't remember the name of the female singer).
This will probably be my only album review on this blog. Back to Translation Studies!
