Rarely has a new pop artist so directly challenged their audience as Mika does on his debut single Grace Kelly. Exclaiming that he could be anything while asking pop fans why they don't like him simply for who he is, Mika sets up listeners for an entire album digging into questions of identity, love, and life written in capital letters tumbling forth in a cornucopia of playful pop.
Whether it's the confused, seemingly bisexual, protagonist of "Billy Brown," the large women celebrated in "Big Girl (You Are Beautiful)," or the "identity mad" protagonist of "Grace Kelly," Mika celebrates a huge world of diverse identities. As if to put an exclamation point on this element of his music, Mika has refused to discuss his own sexual identity in interviews. In the bright, colorful, friendly world the characters in his lyrics long for, specific identification would be much less important.
This are the songs in the album :
- Love today
- Lollipop
- Ring ring
- Any Other World
- My Interpretion
- Billy Brown
- Stuck In The Middle
- Big Girl (You're Beautiful)
- Erase
- Happy Ending
- Over My Shoulder
