Sabine64 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Yesterday I found some German articles online about the concerts in Germany and the Swiss which also mentioned the album and all of them say release will be 16th September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yuna Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I'm still hoping that the Japan edition is still on for Sept 11th;http://www.amazon.com/Origin-Love-Mika/dp/B008GVGIWY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1342728392&sr=8-1&keywords=MIKA+The+Origin+Of+Love But who knows?

suzie Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 All articles say 17th September since that was in the last press release and there has been no change announced officially yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christine Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Mikasounds is saying that the release date is October. Got this email this morning We want the whole world to celebrate!! Mika's brand new video for his latest single is here! 'Celebrate' featuring the hugely talented Pharrell Williams is released September 30th and marks the return of Mika! This is the first track released from his new album 'The Origin Of Love', out October 2012! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yuna Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 (edited) Mikasounds is saying that the release date is October. Got this email this morning Did anyone notice the official message from Mikasounds has the release date as October 2012? :aah: We want the whole world to celebrate!!

The song hasn't been released properly yet. I keep repeating this every time someone mentions the poor promotion of the song. I know it's available in many countries (Canada included) but it has NOT been released in the US and UK yet. Now that they are launching it properly I'm sure the interest in the song will pick up in other countries where it's been flagging, like France.

suzie Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 (edited) Didn't he say that at least in the UK The Origin of Love will be the first single? ...besides, it is no longer October the 8th, so even that will be delayed, I think. Albums are usually released 3-4 weeks after the first single is out. Edited August 10, 2012 by suzie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Didn't he say that at least in the UK The Origin of Love will be the first single? I don't think he said it. I think it was just billed that way by BBC2. Maybe they misunderstood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerMoment1608 Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 This is the first track released from his new album 'The Origin Of Love', out October 2012! It drives me crazy that we don't get a clear statement when the album will come out. Waiting would be much easier if I wouldn't have the feeling that I'm counting the days for the wrong date anyway all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerMoment1608 Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 (edited) On http://www.universalmusic.fr/mika/ is an article from today where they are talking about the 17th of September as release date. And as it's the record label site and not a random press article which may have copied old information I think (hope) that they know what they are writing. So maybe a later release of Celebrate and the album in the UK and USA and therefore the other dates?

suzie Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 So maybe a later release of Celebrate and the album in the UK and USA and therefore the other dates? I think it would be commercial suicide to have weeks between the release of the album in one country vs others. People would simply dowload the tracks illegaly prior to the release in their own country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Mikas record label has the habit of doing strange things , so that wouldn't surprise me anymore But on the other hand I have no clue about releasing tactics. Does anyone know how it is with other "worldwide artists"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People would simply dowload the tracks illegaly prior to the release in their own country. Maybe they have given up the idea that people are not going to download it anyway. TBWKTM leaked early so the relatively synchronized release dates became a moot point. I would imagine a lot of fans who are so anxiously awaiting this album that they cannot wait two more weeks will buy on preorder anyway. And everyone else is wondering whatever happened to Mika at this point and are not going to be scouring the net looking for an album put online because of an early release in France or South Korea. Hopefully by the time October rolls around he will be back in people's consciousness but as Mika said recently the most important thing for him is to just get them listening to his music in any way possible. The release dates of LICM were very staggered. Even the US and Canadian dates were a full month apart. I know people have more access than ever to illegal downloads today but I downloaded Grace Kelly and Relax before they were available in Canada and look where that led.

Marilyn Mastin Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 I don't mind too much if it's a bit later. we're already hearing some of the songs and they'll be releasing Celebrate. For me, it means I've got some new songs still to look forward to. But at my age, time does seem to go pretty fast anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
