MIKA has debuted his new single
“Popular Song”, featuring Nickelodeon star Ariana Grande on iTunes and other digital retailers.
The song offers a fresh twist on "Popular" from the Broadway hit
"Wicked", composed by Stephen Schwartz. In an historic move, Schwartz
was so
moved by this interpretation that he authorized the usage of his music
for the first time ever.
"Popular Song" remains an inspiring and invigorating pop anthem that
encourages the bullied and unpopular to rise above. MIKA tapped the charismatic and charming actress/singer
Ariana Grande for the song, which showcases a powerful interplay between
the two singers. Grande’s successful co-starring role on the hit show, Victorious, recently led to her own spin-off for Nickelodeon, Sam & Cat.
Grande’s presence extends far beyond her
television notoriety. She’s also a highly talented and accredited
singer, who’s debut album—due out 2013 via Republic Records— has her
poised to become a major player in popular music.
The single arrives hot on the heels of
Mika's recent sold-out U.S. tour in support of his new album, The Origin of Love, which followed up the multi-platinum worldwide smash,
The Boy Who Knew Too Much.
Completely self-created and self-imagined,
The Origin of Love has been a two-year DIY labour of love for
Mika who has put together everything on the record himself, flying
around the world under his own steam personally assembling an incredible
roll call of collaborators – In addition to Nick
Littlemore and Pharrell Williams, Mika has also worked with William
Orbit, Benny Benassi, FrYars, Greg Wells (Katy Perry, Adele), and Klas
Ahlund (Robyn’s Body Talk) as well as working with some brand new
unsigned musicians he found himself online.
Mika
has now sold over 8 million records and Gold or Platinum awards in 32
countries worldwide across his previous two albums ‘Life in Cartoon
Motion’ and ‘The Boy Who Knew Too Much’, winning Brit and MTV Awards
in the process.
