In an interview at Parisian, Mika wanted to pay tribute to Jane Birkin, as her sixth album was released on Friday. ” [Jane] Birkin was an icon of sensuality, she embodied effortless elegance, candor without any vulgarity,” he says. In one of his pieces, the artist says: “I dream of a love à la Birkin, I dare not leave the swimming pool, all these looks that kill me. »
“In this title, I confront nudity, I defend a liberated love, without shame. A Birkin-style love is a sensual, poetic, unashamed love,” he explained to journalists from the daily.
An album 100% in French
For the first time, the artist will sing only in French in this album. “France represents an important part of my career. […] It is a country where I have always felt myself, I spent the first eight years of my life there. Writing this album freed me. »
In his interview, the singer also returns to his identity as a “vagabond”: “I write all the time to dig my legitimacy. I’ve lived everywhere, I don’t know where I’m really from, my identity is constantly changing”. A man still in search of legitimacy, despite an undisputed success and world-famous titles such as Relax, Take It Easy, Grace Kelly or Happy Ending.
