Some lovely piano sections don’t save this track from just being am average opener. It is happy and upbeat but unfortunately not memorable. Instead, a reflection of a lack of conviction/confidence into which direction he wanted to move in.Īs an opener ‘ Talk about You‘ slots into the pop category, lyrically describing the effort of an all-encompassing crush ( you’re the only one I talk about, a million faces but all I’m seeing is you). I wouldn’t call that album a misfire but looking back on it, I wouldn’t describe it as cohesive. Musically, for this album, I hoped this turn into a new decade will have brought a sense of understanding of what he wanted to present to the world, unlike predecessor ‘ The Origin of Love’ which saw him torn between two music styles – the outright pop of ‘ Step with Me‘ alongside more serious lyrically driven songs such as ‘ Heroes‘.

Now in his thirties, he has orchestrated a diversity of experiences through TV programs (The Voice Italy and France) and also fashion collaborations with the fashion house Valentino. Since his introduction into the music world, Mika has obviously matured both through his work and his outlook on life. Mika is now on to his fourth album to date, bursting onto the pop scene back in 2007 with his huge breakthrough debut ‘ Life in Cartoon Motion‘ which spawned the hits ‘ Grace Kelly‘ and my favourite ‘ Relax, Take it Easy‘.
