Mika’s Hyperlove feels less like a comeback and more like a confident re-entry—an artist returning to familiar terrain with the perspective of someone who has spent nearly two decades refusing to stand still. Now a multi-platinum, BRIT Award-winning and GRAMMY-nominated global pop visionary, Mika's Hyperlove marks his first English-language studio album since 2019’s My Name Is Michael Holbrook.

In the 19 years since his explosive debut, Life In Cartoon Motion, Mika has consistently proven the eclectic nature of his songwriting, moving effortlessly between theatrical pop, intimate confessionals, and exuberant, technicolour anthems. That same creative restlessness has extended beyond music: he has established himself as a notable actor and presenter, reinforcing the idea that his career is defined by versatility rather than reinvention for its own sake. In the six years since his last English-language release, Mika leaned more heavily into French-language projects, but Hyperlove brings him back to the language that launched his career—without sounding like a step backwards.

With Hyperlove, Mika returns to the piano as his creative compass, using it as the starting point for every song. From there, he embarks on a daring reinvention, merging the warmth of analogue imperfections with the pristine pulse of electronic pop. Crafted entirely with analogue and vintage outboard gear, the album feels tactile and alive—a living, breathing landscape full of vulnerability, grit, longing, and euphoria. It’s playful and dramatic but also emotionally grounded, balancing the joy Mika is famous for with a hard-earned sense of perspective.

Standout tracks include the suitably addictive Nicotine, which showcases his gift for instantly memorable hooks, and the hypnotic Immortal Love, a euphoric moment that highlights the album’s emotional depth. Together, they underline how Hyperlove reframes Mika’s signature sound through maturity rather than nostalgia.

With over 20 million albums sold, chart-topping releases in 32 countries, and a legacy of hits stretching from Grace Kelly to modern global successes, Mika continues to stand as one of pop’s most innovative and emotionally resonant artists. A single thread unites his work across music, television, philanthropy, and performance: possibility. Hyperlove is a vivid reminder that, nearly two decades on, Mika’s creative world is still expanding—and still thrilling to step back into.
