MIKA'S GOLDEN SHOWER

Flamboyant floppy haired pop prince Mika makes an unwelcome return to the pop landscape in September with sophomore album We Are Golden. Already shaping up as a busy month for new releases the album is unleashed on September 21st with the title track released as a single on September 7th.
The album follows on the heels of May's Songs For Sorrow EP. Dirty Pop has yet to haer the track , mostly because we couldnt be bothered. We hear its received a mixed response. But regardless of talent or huge sales , Mika is pure pop Marmite. He's a pop star its very hard to be indifferent to. You either lapped up " Grace Kelly " or absolutely detested the bingo wings anthem " Big Girl (You Are Beautiful )". One thing is certain though , Mika's songs have an irritating ability to burrow themselves in the very depths of your head for days on end,

It'll be interesting to see how the new album is received after the mammoth success of 2007's ubiquitous Life In Cartoon Motion. Cue a Brit Award and dinner dates with Cheryl Cole and Katy Perry falling over their Jimmy Choo's to have you pen their next albums. His hair might be floppy but it remains to be seen if album number 2 is another "golden " period for the sexually ambiguous one.
If we get another " Happy Ending " , Dirty Pop will be very happy. It's our favourite Mika track.
