dcdeb Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Mika: 'Kick-Ass' Released on Tuesday, March 23 2010 By Robert Copsey Post-'We Are Golden', Mika's career trajectory has taken one hell of a nosedive. After 'Rain' and 'Blame It On The Girls' both stalled - somewhat eerily - at number 72 on the charts, the bigwigs appear to have stormed the cockpit to reverse his descent. The result? 'Kick-Ass', a one-off collaboration with producer-du-jour RedOne promoting the film of the same name. The verses have all the usual Mika ingredients - a handful of quirky lyrics, a dash of piano and a sprinkling of his trademark wail - and it's only when the chorus kicks in that we hear the RedOne effect. Against some serious synths and heavy Auto-Tuning, Mika proclaims: "We are young / We are strong / We're not looking for where we belong." The combination of sonic trademarks actually works remarkably well, creating a pop stomper that's empowering, oh-so-contemporary and packed with personality. The result? Mika shouldn't need to worry about a crash landing just yet. http://www.digitalspy.com/music/singlesreviews/a210264/mika-kick-ass.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CazGirl Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 i think the lyrics go "running with God on our knees " not blood, that's what it sounds like to me anyway. No, no, no. I don't get why people are hearing God. There's a distinctive "bl" sound, plus God and blood do actually sound different. It's 100% blood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CazGirl Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 And why the hell would God be on your knees FFS? Seriously...dudes and dudettes...it makes no sense At least, not to me. Blood makes way more sense and...oh...they're also actually the lyrics Sorry, I don't know why I'm being blunt and a bit sarcastic in my posts. I'm blaming it on the hormones.

silver Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Release date (in Ireland at least) is given as April 30th But surely people will be downloading the track as soon as the album is available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camille* Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 WHAT?! People keep hearing "God" instead of "Blood". No kidding? I clearly hear blood, can't be anything else from my point of view... But hey, it's kind of a relief to know that some English speakers are not sure about English lyrics sometimes, it sure can be hard work for non native speakers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
