As soon as I heard MIKA’s new song “Kick Ass” was produced by RedOne I had mixed feelings. RedOne is no doubt a VERY talented producer. The problem is that everybody under the sun has worked with him. Over saturation! MIKA is just such a unique talent, I’d hate for his new song to sound overly commercial. That being said, the song really doesn’t lose much of that originality. Sure, the production sounds a bit…done…but it’s really all about MIKA as a voice and as a performer and he sounds AMAZING as always.

| Kick Ass – Out April 16th |
“Kick Ass” comes from the soundtrack to a new movie of the same name, out in theaters April 16th. The movie’s plot sees a quiet high school boy and avid comic book reader named Dave Lizewski (Aaron Johnson) try to become a superhero without any powers to speak of. MIKA’s music video is interspersed with scenes from the movie, which I have to say, looks quite entertaining. “Kick Ass” is out in the UK on May 3rd but you can pre-order it on iTunes HERE. The three track EP features, in addition to “Kick Ass” (MIKA vs. RedOne) MIKA’s “I See You” and a live version of his previous single “Blame It On The Girls.” Good stuff here. I wish MIKA had more success on this side of the pond. He’s really quite talented.
