After the colossal aftermath of ‘Grace Kelly’ by Mika, it was clear to see
that it was going to take something special from the new pop sensation to live
up to his debut’s stir.
Personally I thought he was going to a James Blunt Job, that is, write an
annoyingly addictive song…play it out and then follow it up with a flop. Thank
goodness though Mika didn’t do that, he has followed his introduction with
what I believe to be an equally addictive and captivating song… ‘Love
Today’.
It’s bursting with potential just like ‘Grace Kelly’. It’s unbelievably
danceable. It’s also full of those shockingly high-pitched notes just like
it’s predecessor and also like ‘Grace Kelly’, it’s as camp as a row of
pink tents but somehow you can’t help loving it.
I suppose Mika can’t help being camp when he’s been linked with Queen’s
Freddie Mercury in one way or another. He’s got so much love to give or at
least I counted so… he said ‘Love’ a massive 57 times in this song. Either
way I Love this song and it’s my tip for the top when it’s released.
