On December 1, the music world lights up with the release of Mika‘s new album, May Your Head Always Bloom. This musical gem promises twelve tracks, including one particularly intimate piece. Me, Andy and Paris reveals the complexity of his relationship with his partner, Andy. Mika, in a burst of candor, shares with Télé 7 Jours his mixed feelings: "He isn’t happy about this song… I put my intimacy and his in it."
The 40-year-old singer is going through delicate moments, juggling love and a hectic professional life. His numerous trips to France and Italy put their relationship to the test. "He’s English and finds himself in a kind of throuple all the time because of my life in France," Mika confides. A complicated situation that still seems to find resonance in his words and melodies.
But that’s not all. This album also contains a poignant tribute to his mother, who passed away in 2021. The title is inspired by a drawing given to him by his mother, bearing the words "may your head always bloom." Mika sees it as a gift, but also a provocation. "If you don’t do it, then what was all of this for?" it seems she tells him through this artistic legacy.
The album thus becomes a mirror of the artist’s joys and sorrows. With May Your Head Always Bloom, Mika invites us into his world, between love, pain and hope. A work that promises to be as colorful and deep as its creator’s life.
