dcdeb Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 The spectrum of brilliance known simply as Mika is about to puke his prism of perfection into your iPod ... again. September 22nd, Mika -- along with buttery cameo vocals of Imogen Heap -- is set to release his second full length album entitled "We Are Golden," via Casablanca/Universal Republic Records. But since that's eons away (in pop-culture time), I have an inside "look" at what we can expect from the great dance-track pop God. I love my job. Produced by Mika and Greg Wells (Katy Perry, P!nk), this record is the much anticipated follow-up to 2007's "Life in Cartoon Motion," which sold more than 5 million copies worldwide. Mika returned to Los Angeles, where he made his first record, and loaded his recording studio with visual inspiration, 60s children's books and all sorts of trinkets to create a world entirely of his own where the songs could grow. As a result, the snippets of music I got to sample played like an explosion of effervescent, sizzling, piano pop. To kick things off, the brilliant first single, also named "We Are Golden," will begin to stream on Mika's Web site on July 20. Not one to waste time, a video for the track, helmed by acclaimed Swedish director Jonas Akerlund, is also currently in being shot in the UK. "We Are Golden" features the Andrae Crouch Gospel Choir (from Madonna's "Like A Prayer"), defiant declarations of hope and a driving beat, while the floor-stomping song "Blame It On the Girls" begs for us to sing-along. The tracks "Rain" and "Dr. John" mix a 60s beach blanket bonanza with bona fide dance floor anthems, a lot like his hit "Relax" did in '07. Oh, and don't worry, Mika-ballad babies, the tune "Toy Boy" will leave you weeping for tons more from this fella'. Tons more than this one lonely CD can offer. Is it sad that the full album isn't out yet, and I am already awaiting his next masterpiece?
