My unfiltered first reaction to the album (and reading the lyrics)

Bougez:

Great start

Would normally never listen to sth like this but because it‘s Mika I love it?

I am INTO this, it's so stupid

(The bridge about god telling him to move in heaven lol)

Jane Birkin:

This has grown on me

The chorus is permanently stuck in my head

Sweetie Banana:

I… don't know

But the soft "bye bye"s are killing me

What the hell is this about

The only thing I understand is "I know your address" which is very ominous

("Candy in my bath" I'm sorry WHAT)

("All these words of love remain to be peeled" I am WHEEZING)

Apocalypse Calypso:

I do like this, still don't love it though

30 Secondes:

The sound is a bit too cheesy for me I think

The chorus IS nice ok

This is sth I'd listen to on repeat if I was in the right mood but would never admit

("You're like a bomb" um ok)

(He's talking about heaven and hell again uh-oh)

C'est la Vie:

God I hate this

I'd skip but promised myself I'd listen to the whole thing the way it's intended

Ok I don't HATE it, it just does absolutely nothing for me

Moi, Andy et Paris:

The beginning is so romantic WHAT

Oh this is such a vibe

Absolutely adooore ❤️

Every time he says "Andy" I grow stronger

At the end he sings "I love you but not him" WTF Mika (this was a betrayal by google translate, he is actually saying "I love you but he doesn't" phew)

Je sais que je t'aime:

The whisper part is so cringe I'm sorry

The rest is beautiful

The line "I hope life forgives us even if god has abandoned us" is still the saddest thing on the album for me

Ohhh the strings I loovee

(Every time I think a song is about Andy it turns out to be about his mum. This one is very sad though)

Doucement:

Mhm not sure tbh

I do like the chorus

Not obsessed yet though

(Not sure what or who this is about. Possibly depression and suicide)

Touche Touche:

Finally my fave from the teasers let's go

God this gives me energy, is this gonna replace Touches You as the song I listen to on repeat when I need a mood booster

Omg the sound of loading the gun in the second pre-chorus, this guy is insane

(Pure sensual filth. Like Tomorrow, BBB and Ice Cream combined. I love it)

("Prends ma main pour un slow" a slow what?! :O)

Amour Pirate:

I'm soo curious about these lyrics

Whyy did I learn Italian instead of brushing up on my French

Melody is simple but I'm not hooked (yet)

("Stolen treasure is not catholic" what)

(Aw so sweet, I AM an undiscovered treasure)

(I think he's telling us to take more risks in order to find love and he might not be wrong)

Passager:

Again nice but more about the lyrics I think

I wasn't expecting this many ballads

An unusually soft Mika album (not complaining)

I do wonder how that's gonna translate to a gig though since they are usually so high energy

Did he just say "Je parle francais et anglais"?! I'm dead (I found out later he does not, he says "un anglais")

#well this is something absolute no one asked for #mika #mikasounds #mika penniman #que ta tete fleurisse toujours #qttft

"Tant que l'on s'enlace on existe"

or as Descartes put it

"I fuck, therefore I am"

#That's the quote right #mika #mikasounds #mika penniman #apocalypse calypso

"Tant que l'on s'enlace on existe

On se rend immortels devant

En faisant l'amour on résiste

Regarde-moi, prends-moi la main"

Hi everyone! It's my first post here

I'm Vera known online as Pegazica. I'm an artist, horse rider and music lover

I hope you're gonna stay here for longer if you like my work 🫶

This piece was inspired by Mika's new song "Apocalypse calypso"

I fell in love with this song from the first listen. It's got such a soft, hazy quality. It's like a daydream.

I love how open Mika is about everything in this song. Love, sexuality, everything! It's such a masterpiece and the fact that it's in French adds up to its beauty.

This image appeared in my head immediately after listening to that song for the first time.

That's why I decided to draw it. I wanted to show the same emotions and softness as the song. It's kind of a continuation of the cover for Mika's new album "Que Ta Tête Fleurisse Toujours" (coming out on December 1st!)

I wanted to show my interpretation of it and "what happened after the picture for the cover was taken"

The flowers in his hair are also a bit of a ca to the title and Mika's love for them 😝

I really hope you like this piece

Lots of love and may your head always bloom 🫶
