Mika Talks About The Boy Who Knew Too Much

Last week we caught up with UK pop artist Mika to talk about his second album, The Boy Who Knew Too Much, which drops in the US today. He describes this sophomore effort — which he wrote in a one-room basement studio in London — as "a kind of rock opera about my adolescence." Watch as Mika talks to Flavorpill's Mira Leytes about how the Internet launched his career, what it's like to lose yourself in writing an album, and why his biggest competition these days just might be himself.

I have to say those whom are "freaks" and "geeks" and artistic "loners" make the best writers and musicians.Also anyone who's open about sharing this part of themselves w/o shame has great strength.Anyone who's not afraid to vocalize their insecurities in a mature intelligent and healthy way is very secure with being human.

I think Mika is like Warhol,Bowie,Mozart,and Freddie all rolled into a perfect package of Mika.With a dash of Lebanese male model thrown in.
