Mika - Love Today

Mika - Love Today music videoDid you know???"Love Today" is his third, not second, single from his debut album Life in Cartoon Motion. The first is "Relax, Take It Easy" which failed chart on the original release in the UK; however, the song has become a huge hit in Poland where it reached #1 on the official Polish Airplay Chart.Mika has a vocal range of five octaves.His sister Yasmine, who works as an artist under the nom de plume Dawack, painted the cartoon art for his album Life in Cartoon Motion.He was trained by a Russian opera professional hired by his mother to break up the torpor of being at home all day because his mother pulled him out of school at the age of 11 due to his dyslexia condition which deteriorated into what he calls "a little breakdown", and it took seven months to find another that would accept him.Mika and his sister started to create all the characters for his songs about a year before he made his record. "Even after I got signed, the record company thought I was insane because I was just sitting there drawing characters saying, 'This is what the album's gonna look like'. They were like, 'You haven't chosen a producer yet.' And I was saying, 'It doesn't matter'."He wrote Grace Kelly -- "a screw-you" to a music company that wanted him to be a little more of the smouldering singer-songwriter du jour and attached the typewritten lyrics — "Should I bend over?/ Should I look older, just to be put on the shelf?" — to a demo of the song and sent it to the executive who had turned him away.
