We’ve all have known him when he caught our interest through his song Grace Kelly released almost a decade ago on 2006.
Born Michael Holbrook Penniman Jr., Mika, as he was widely known, is a Lebanese-British songwriter most noted through channeling his musicality on genres like pop rock, glam rock and power pop.
Little had been known about Mika because he chose to keep his career below mainstream after just releasing three albums from early career era up to present.
Simply said, Mika is definitely and extensively missed.
In relation to an artist that we’ve missed, Ariana Grande had been riding the tidal wave of success since her first solo album, Yours Truly being in public on 2013.
With a huge talent and second to none passion to boot, she is now one of the many young stars that’s hard not to notice.
This American singer and freelance actress had validated her fame through constant releases of smash hits and continuous visibility on radio, television and social media.
To keep things short, Ariana Grande is a superstar in the making.
With Mika and Ariana Grande collaborating on a song would be deemed impossible.
Aside from their common ground which is pop, nothing can be noted to connect these two talented singers.
But even before your nod your head in agreement, we’ve all been proven wrong as they already had released a single at the outskirts of 2013.
Popular Song is Mika’s second single from his third studio album, The Origin of Love.
Released in 2013 as an improved version with Ariana Grande’s angelic vocals, Popular Song is an upbeat and lively song which talks about seeking revenge to a once popular kid.
The song title had never been this fitting as the two created a jumpy tempo and an easy to memorize melody which screams pop on every musical note.
This ingenious collaboration of Grande and Mika originally is based on the song Popular from the musical Wicked.
Inspiring for the bullied and the unpopular people to stand-up, the Popular Song is a single to be noted.
The song had been compared to Mika’s approach on his past single to have a peppy beat, catchy melody and the always playful lyrics.
Grande’s interpretation and contribution to the song had been her flawless vocals.
Noteworthy of a throwback, The Popular Song is one of the few songs that we all should listen to. Mika plus Ariana Grande on it is really an ear treat.
