Big, happy, kaleidoscopic pop is Mika's speciality, which means that this shimmering handful of Essentials will have you bopping joyfully round your living room in no time. The Lebanese-American singer-songwriter announced himself with the limited-edition 2006 release "Relax, Take It Easy", (it scored well on charts across Europe), before busting down the door to stardom with the chart-topping "Grace Kelly", on which Mika takes his cues from Queen's Freddie Mercury and Rossini's opera [i]The Barber of Seville[/i]. Electro-pop anthem "Big Girl (You Are Beautiful)" exploded like a shaken-up can of soda all over the summer of '07, "Love Today" earned Mika a GRAMMY® nomination, and "We Are Golden" set the scene for second album [i]The Boy Who Knew Too Much[/i] in style. And if you're wondering how he hits those amazing high notes, well, that's what Royal Opera House training is for.
