Mika's "teenage" album

British pop prince Mika doesn't have a name for his new album yet, but he hopes it'll be be in shops in September. He says his second album will "deal with his adolescent teenage years". In 2007, Mika's first album, Life In Cartoon Motion, sold more than five million copies around the world. The songs on that album were about his childhood. "On the first record, I referenced a lot of nursery rhymes and fairy tales," Mika says. "When you're a kid, you just sing them and you love them. But when you're a teenager, you read them again and realize they're all about babies dying and people chopping off each other's body parts!" Mika, 25, also has a new friend – American singer Lady GaGa. "I met her in LA," he told the BBC, "I really admire the fact she writes all that stuff and she cares so much about what she does. I know she polarises opinion, but that's a good thing."
