CD Description
BRIT Award-winning pop singer Mika's second album The Boy Who Knew Too Much follows up the enormous success of 2007's debut Life In Cartoon Motion. Produced once again by Greg Wells (Katy Perry, Rufus Wainwright), Mika continues to excel in bringing his own brand of fun and chaos to proceedings. The music on offer is undeniably catchy, although singing along will prove quite a task as the Beirut-born star has a superb vocal talent that is hard to match. Includes the single "We Are Golden".

This special deluxe edition includes a bonus 17 track CD of songs recorded live at Sadlers Wells in 2009.

Customer Reviews

More glorious Mika? Yes, please!
Mika is pure gold. Yes, his music is pop, but it's music to sing, dance and feel good to, which is good enough for me. And I still haven't got tired of the first album, Life in Cartoon Motion after three years.

If you were worried that Mika's first album was too perfect and that the second album was bound to be a let-down, you can stop worrying now. I received the "Deluxe" (double-CD) version this morning, and I've been listening to it on loop ever since. This is a selection of new songs that are easily recognisable as Mika songs, but they're not clones. The trademark falsetto is still there, the songs are instantly likable, and there's a powerful emotional punch in the lyrics that help keep the songs fresh on repeated listening. It's music to pick you up and make you feel good.

The only slight disppointment is that there are just 13 tracks on the first CD - the bonus track is Lover Boy. There is no acoustic version of We Are Golden.

The second CD is a 17-track live recording from a one-off concert at Sadler's Wells, with a mix of songs from Life in Cartoon Motion and The Boy, plus several rarities from singles and EPs. I have no idea if there were ballerinas on stage during that concert, but it would be typical of Mika's showmanship if there were. The arrangements are quite different from those on the album, so this isn't a duplicate of tracks you already have. The Happy Ending duet with Ida Falk Winland brings me out in goosebumps. The pace and the wildness of the interpretations increases towards the end of the set; the energy is irresistable. Lollipop ends the concert, then there are three encores - plus an abandoned version of Any Other World (I would have liked to hear a full version)!

If you are a Mika junkie like me, there's no choice. You just have to buy this. And for the extra couple of quid, the 2 CD version just has to be worth it!

Mika The Pure Gold genius
Just like it's predecessor, The Boy Who Knew Too Much is an eclectic mix of entertaining lyrics and beautiful orchestration with something for every mood. A must for any discerning music lover.

The best just got better!
This improved version of "The Boy Who Knew Too Much" has got to be in the collection of all Mika Fans.

Not only does this include the new album, it also includes 17 live tracks from both this album and his succesful first album. His live singing ability is incredible and his songs sound so good live. My favourite from the live tracks has got to be "Happy Ending".

Concentrating on the new album "The Boy Who New Too Much", I have to say that I was excited about this being released and was not disappointed. I did enjoy listening to this but it is not as good as his debut release. However, there are some terrific tracks including "We Are Golden", "Blue Eyes" and "Rain" but there are also a few filler tracks on the album which you listen to and completely forget afterwards the main song being Track 10 "One Foot Boy".

I totally adore track 7 "Good Gone Girl" and track 8 "Touches You" which I feel may be considered as future singles.

This album including the bonus tracks is a must for Mika fans, and it shows off his wacky unique style brilliantly.

This is a 5 star album and deserves success.
