It only takes two songs on Mika's third album, The Origin Of Love, to fall in love with this all-hooks-and-catches form of pop music. 'Lola', scheduled as his second single, following the Pharrell Williams collaboration, 'Celebration', is bouncy and delivers to us his moral-within-a-pop-song formula. It may not be to everyone's taste as the eye-popping high notes of his 2007 number one single, 'Grace Kelly', still shrill in our ear buds. The shrillness rears its head occasionally but Mika's voice is steadily in control, like a master of vocal distortion 'pon a trampoline.
