LE CHAT EST HORS DU SAC

From Le Figaro; translated from the French by Babel Fish:

The American-Lebanese singer Mika, who was a considerable success in 2007 with his first album, " Life in Motion" Cartoon; , the exit d' announced; a deliver-disc at the end of May, followed d' a series in acoustic concerts then d' a new album in September. The deliver-disc " Songs for Sorrow" (" Songs for the tristesse") is put on sale in prereservation on the www.mikasounds.com site and will be available from May 24. It contains four new songs, " Toy Boy" , " Lonely Alcoholic" , " Blue Eyes" and " Jane" lady;. " They were inspired by the side sinks of l' universe of the fairy tales, which me fascine" , explained Mika, in the Parisian buildings of its recording company, Universal. These songs are put in images by eighteen illustrators that the 25 year old singer contacted. Among them, great names of the Anglo-Saxon data base, like l' American Jim Woodring or l' English David McKee, the British Peter Blake, who had realized in 1967 the mythical small pocket of l' album of Beatles " Sgt. Pepper' S Lonely Hearts Band" Club; , or the designer Alber Elbaz. " This very personal project m' a workspace out of any commercial pressure gave, because it devours all and j' were afraid qu' it harms my créativité" , Mika underlined, which has a perfect command of French almost because he lived in Paris during his childhood, before its s' family; establishes in London.
