We featured Mika a little while ago in our world-famous Weekly Jukebox. If we knew then what we know now, we would have given him his own post. Truthfully, we did know then what we know now, but had I known now what I could have known then before now, he would have gotten his own post. So now he does. Make sense?
Mika is a British singer-songwriter who is, shall we say, quirky. His style is catchy, likable and light but also very, shall we say, unique. His vocals are very Queen-ish (the rock band, not the old monarch from England) due to his vocal range which is, quite frankly, all over the place. I will warn that it’s very poppy. But sometimes you need that pizzaaz to help you get through the day. Songs like the featured “Blame It On The Girls”, “We Are Golden” and “Good Gone Girl” will have you clapping for no good reason at all. Seriously. It happened to me at work. It was super awkward.
Make sure you check out his latest album The Boy Who Knew Too Much for the freshest beats this side of the Mississippi. You won’t be disappointed. And if you are disappointed you have no one to blame but yourself. You’re just not listening hard enough.

Buy The Boy Who Knew Too Much:
Frightened Rabbit – “Head Rolls Off”
This is just a very well put together song. I’m certain they have accents, but it’s the kind of accents that you can’t really tell they’re foreign until you hear them in an interview and you’re like, “Say what?!” But that has nothing to do with the song.

Mika – “Blame It On The Girls”
Very catchy song, but very unique. This guy is a little off-the-wall, but that’s what makes him fun.

Muse – “Undisclosed Desires”
FreshScouts featured the new Muse album The Resistance a few months back and this is the second single from the album. It’s a pretty sweet video too.
