Mika
Grace Kelly

Casablanca/Universal-Island

WE SAY

On everybody's list of tips for 2007, this is the first full single from songwriter, performer and producer MIKA. His first release Relax, Take It Easy, which we featured in August, was playlisted by Radio 1, which is quite a feat for a limited edition 7"/download-only single. Grace Kelly is as compulsive as pop music gets. Watch the video, directed by legendary Sophie Muller – it’s a perfect compliment to the melodrama and camp of the track itself. This is playlisted at Capital and a Radio 2 Record of the Week. MIKA is a star on meteoric ascent. JF London Gig: 22 February, Koko NW1
