Em' Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Hi everybody, I have searched in the forum but haven't seen any thread related to this. I don't know what to think of it. This link shows 2 albums (US releases) that would have been done by Mika before, one in 2000 (simply called: Mika) and one in 2004 (Right Place, Right Time). I don't know if the 2000 one is really relevant (Mika might have been only 16 at the time), but if you look at the picture of Right Place, Right Time, from far it can really look like him, hugging a girl. http://www.artistdirect.com/nad/music/artist/card/0,,1079193,00.html?src=search&artist=Mika Of course, the albums are not available (that would have enabled to recognize if it's his voice). And maybe those albums are by a different Mika, but as they are linked to his name and bio.... Anyone aware of anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CazGirl Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 how very strange...but im not convinced...while searching "Mika" these other Mika artists may have just popped up too. and Mika has said that Life In Cartoon Motion is his first record...

Em' Posted June 26, 2007 Author Share Posted June 26, 2007 Yes I thought they might have linked a wrong Mika to Mika's bio... But as I found that strange I thought people might know something here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hannah Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 I looked that stuff up on iTunes, and it comes up listed as by Mika, but I'm fairly positive it's not him. It's a male, but it doesn't sound like him... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christine Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Here's a site with some sound samples. Some kind of electronica stuff. If you look at the enlarged album cover, it looks like two men. http://www.cduniverse.com/search/xx/music/pid/6402036/a/Right+Place+Right+Time.htm Oh, here's some more info: Klein Records ~ klcd047 ~ November 2003 The follow up to Mika’s debut album of 3 years ago, whereupon the members spread their wings, wrote their bits and pieces around Europe and conglomerated again to produce ‘Right Place, Right Time’. Yet, taking that into consideration, this is a suprisingly cohesive album with some great moments. Beginning with the mesmeric bass tones and downtrodden vocal drawls of ‘My Opinion Never Sleeps’ and retro eighties sensibilities of ‘Interesting Times’, the album hits a high with the incredible addictive pop sensibilities of ‘I Know How Morrissey Felt’. Right Time, Right Place uses a variety of vocalists to project the lyrical asperations of love and romance, encapsulated by the melancholy structure of the songs, which flutter between melodic pop and downtempo electronica. The album is certainly a grower, and whilst it consistently nods towards the vagaries of the past, the sound remains contemporary and focused. Mika have produced a charming album, occasionally uplifting and well worth a gamble, even if the songwriting isn’t always of the very highest quality throughout. http://www.barcodezine.com/revmikarightplacerighttime17022004.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ioana Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 I don`t think that`s him,and anyway,if he had a record deal back in 2000,why bother with the whole Grace Kelly thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And maybe those albums are by a different Mika, but as they are linked to his name and bio.... Anyone aware of anything?[/quote'] That's really weird. But, I don't think it's the Mika we know. The track listings don't even "sound" like him, if that makes any sense. I don't think it's Mika. Unless Mika lied about "Life in Cartoon Motion" being his first (USA/UK?) album, then... maybe. But the guy in the other pic isn't as tall/thin as Mika. Then again, if he was 16, he was probably shorter. :-/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ariadneallison Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 when i first found that this album was recorded by "mika" i couldn't believe it. but this all makes sense. it can't really be him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norwalk174 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 He's not the only one with the name Mika Those are obviously not him, but Mika was on an album back in 1998 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
findingmywords Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I'm pretty sure this album isn't his... There are many other MIKA's out there. This is probably just some other artist named MIKA. Why wouldn't he let us know he had a album before LICM? I don't think it's his EDIT: And here's this: After the Mika debut album, released by Klein records in 2000 [in 2000 our MIKA was still in school and didn't even do Cabaret yet.], it was time for a change. The electronic toys were moved, Simon Nola moved to Graz, Matthias Kertal moved to Vienna, honorary Mika Lea Sonnek moved to London. Mika's musical home cannot be defined clearly. There is no such thing as a clear-cut definition of Mika's musical style. Their music cannot be squeezed into any simple category of short term trends. And the record company is 'Klein Records'. It's not him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mika_Addiction Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 There's a girl called mika. A band, and some reggae artist from belgium. So I think it's not our Meeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
celien Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I don't think this is 'our' Mika, there are more artists called mika and the man on the cover doesn't look like mika as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
