The Boy Who Knew Too Much

Produced by Mika and Greg Wells, this record is the highly anticipated follow-up to 2007's Life in Cartoon Motion. The new album features guest contributions by Imogen Heap and Final Fantasy's Owen Pallett, and also contains the brilliant first single "We Are Golden."

The Boy Who Knew Too Much straddled a line between childish naivete and world-worn sophistication; Mika likens this transformation as the shift from childhood and innocence to something more akin to adolescence. As such, the songs on The Boy Who Knew Too Much are ebulliently bold, embracing the mysteries, melodramas, adrenaline and vitality of one's teenage years to startling affect. The arrangements are bigger and more beautiful than ever before, and the album is underpinned by an open-hearted and accepting idea of what living in the 21st century means in all its contradictory, complicated glory.
