On Tuesday, July 21st, MySpace Music and Casablanca/Universal Republic Records will unveil the first single and title track from British singing sensation MIKA’s new album, WE ARE GOLDEN. The lavish new single will be streamed exclusively for 24 hours only, beginning 9:00 AM EST and will be featured on the MySpace homepage as well as Mika’s MySpace profile.
The acclaimed Mika - who has drawn comparisons to Hall of Fame caliber showman such as Freddie Mercury and Elton John – enjoys a global following thanks to his colorful musical repertoire, cathartic stage-presence, and multi-platform connectivity of his dazzling 2007 debut album, Life In Cartoon Motion. The riveting debut album spawned several worldwide pop anthems, including “Grace Kelly,” “Love Today,” and “Relax”; sold over 5 million copies worldwide; as well as garnering unprecedented critical praise and a host of Awards and nominations including Grammys, Brit Awards, World Music Awards, and the UK’s most prestigious songwriting honor, the Ivor Novello Award.
After a string of sold-out tours across the globe, Mika began to set his sights on delivering a new album for fans. Produced by Mika and Greg Wells (Katy Perry, P!nk), We Are Golden features guest contributions by Imogen Heap and Final Fantasy’s Owen Pallett, among others. It retains a breadth of vision that speaks not only to Mika’s extraordinary melodic sensibilities, but also to the incredible stories he tells within his songs. A video for the soaring new single is currently in pre-production, and will be helmed by acclaimed Swedish director Jonas Akerlund. Look for Mika’s We Are Golden CD in-stores September 22.

In my opinion The Black Keys can do no wrong. Here’s more proof:
Drummer, the new band featuring Patrick Carney, drummer for the critically acclaimed duo The Black Keys, is poised for the release of their debut album, Feel Good Together. The album is set for release September 29 on Carney’s label, Audio Eagle. Carney, who plays bass for the group, joins up with four long time friends—all Ohio-based drummers—to bring the project to life. Drummer is rounded out by: Jamie Stillman of Teeth of the Hydra, formerly of Party of Helicopters (guitar), Jon Finley of Beaten Awake, also formerly of Party of Helicopters (vocals, guitar), Stephen Clements of Houseguest and Six Parts Seven (keys, vocals) and Greg Boyd of Ghostman and Sandman (drums). The band will embark on a fall tour in support of the new album. For more information about the band, please visit: www.myspace.com/drummertheband
Drummer took shape in early 2009 with one goal in mind—to have a good time. Carney says of the band’s incarnation, “We started playing together in February and within two months, we had a whole record. We have all been friends for a long time and decided that our time would be better spent making music than making snowmen and watching YouTube.” Feel Good Together was recorded and mixed in Akron, OH by Ben Vehorn (Love as Laughter) at his studio Tangerine Sound.
With his Black Keys bandmate Dan Auerbach, Carney has recorded five critically acclaimed full-length albums, beginning with 2002’s The Big Come Up. Feel Good Together arrives on the heels of The Black Keys’ 2008 album, Attack & Release, which debuted on the Billboard Top 200 chart at #14, marking the band’s highest position to date. The album earned praise from The Wall Street Journal, Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, The Los Angeles Times and The New York Times, which called it a “savage, bitter concoction built on a snarling punk-rock riff.” Carney has also been busy with Audio Eagle, which has recently released material from the Royal Bangs and Other Girls.
