Hey, you know Mika, right? If yes, you’re awesome. If not, you’d better.

He’s this twenty-something singer-dude who sings in this amazing normal voice and a kickass falsetto voice and has pretty catchy songs that you’d pretty much immediately love.  Here, have some fun watching these videos:

Now listen to his latest, “We Are Golden”, from his upcoming album which is also called We Are Golden.

Mika – We Are Golden

We Are Golden comes out the 21st of September.

I’m only posting this here so you can keep your sanity. The single is officially released on the 14th of July, so you’d better buy it.  Not high quality, but still worth listening to.

Imogen Heap – First Train Home

Imogen Heap’s Ellipse comes out August 24/25th (UK and US dates) and the constant tweets on her Twitter only make me restless for this album. We’ve been waiting since 2005 for a new album, even though since then and now she’s released several songs that had nothing to do with her albums (see: Can’t Take It In, Glittering Cloud, Not Now But Soon).  An entire album full of brand new songs to listen to constantly, on repeat, to use as our everyday background music is so tempting…and so close to life.

The photo above is from a photoshoot with the amazingly talented Jeremy Cowart. This is simply a sneak peak.  The Hideaway Team has been offering some behind the scenes information about Miss Heap and her upcoming album, so definitely follow them on Twitter for more information and sneak peaks.

In the meantime, here is an MP3 version of Imogen Heap’s performance at Pop Tech! from several months back. Enjoy.
