Mika releases new single 'Modern Times'

Art-pop musician Mika has released his new single 'Modern Times'.

The single comes off of the singer's soon to be announced upcoming album, with album release details to come at a later date. The upbeat track features layered piano and electrifying synth instrumentals, accompanied by an avant-garde video shot in Vienna and directed by Rupert Höller.

"The new album began by getting back to songwriting alone at the piano, with no filters and staying as true to myself as possible," said Mika in a recent social media post. "The songs were recorded across various locations from Montreal, to the hills of a tiny village in Tuscany, and skyscrapers in Bangkok."

Mika is known for his flamboyant performances, initially attracting audience's attention with his debut album Life In Cartoon Motion, released in 2007.

Following his album's release, Mika will set out on his Spinning Out tour, with dates across Europe. He has performed in Ireland several times, with his most recent show being at the 3Olympia in Dublin in April 2024.
