In the past, I often felt spoiled for choice when it came to music videos. However, lately, it seems like we\u2019ve been stuck in a rut of lacklustre efforts. Fortunately, that tide is turning. Artists like Haute & Freddy<\/a><\/strong>, Chloe Qisha<\/a><\/strong>, and The Temper Trap<\/a><\/strong> are elevating their visuals to new heights. Additionally, we\u2019re also seeing an exciting resurgence from pop icons like Lady Gaga<\/a><\/strong> and JADE<\/a><\/strong>. Now, global pop visionary MIKA <\/a><\/strong>is stepping into the spotlight with the announcement of his latest single, \u201cModern Times<\/strong>,\u201d ahead of a new album. This is a thrilling moment for music lovers, as the visual aspect of artistry is finally being reclaimed and celebrated once again.<\/p>\n For a visionary artist like MIKA, the synergy between visual and musical elements is paramount. Thus, any announcement of new material from him inspires a truly unparalleled excitement. In this latest endeavour, MIKA teams up with the exceptionally talented Nick Littlemore<\/strong> (of Empire of the Sun<\/a><\/strong>) and brings in the additional production expertise of Peter Mayes<\/strong> (of PNAU<\/a><\/strong>). \u201cModern Times<\/strong>,\u201d an entirely original composition by MIKA, marks a bold new chapter in his artistic journey. With this captivating offering, MIKA recalibrates his signature style, delivering his thought-provoking spoken-word vocals to communicate a powerful societal message.<\/p>\n MIKA<\/strong>\u00a0explains, \u201cThe song for me is like a treadmill, and that treadmill is life, life in all its good and all its bad. As time goes on and life gets more confusing and sometimes overwhelming, we look further than the world around us, into the world of mythology, desire and dreams. \u2018Modern Times<\/strong>\u2019 is a cathedral-like cry, for faith and spirit, resisting the grind and weight of life and the passing of time.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
