Mika "not giving in" to second album pressure
Published Tuesday, Mar 25 2008, 12:01 GMT | By Simon Reynolds | 5 comments
Speaking to the Daily Star, the 'Grace Kelly' singer said: "People are trying to put pressure on me but I'm not giving in. It will be ready when it's ready - expect the unexpected."
The 24-year-old also claimed that he had no intention of cashing in quickly on the success of his debut album.
He added: "I think some people see me as someone with a big pound sign on my head, but I'm taking no notice. I've been going out a lot to check out weird visual theatre. I'm feeling very inspired."
Mika admitted earlier this month that he was "obsessed" with making sure his second album doesn't disappoint fans.

Mika is an extremely talented musician and singer. There is no way he could ever dissapoint us. It's going to be an awesome second album. He's right not to rush it, it's better that he waits a while, so it can be an even better result. Go Mika !

i think the 2nd album will have the same or even more succes than life in cartoon motion. colors, life and imagination are a part of him. it's not just a boom-start. his whole carreer will be a boom :) a great one :)

I think Mika can repeat Cartoon Motion success. Having seen him at the Brits he has a fan for life in me. I juist hope his efforts to please fans don't backfire!

Mika will come back with an album even better than his first. I suspect he may not achieve the same sales figures, but musically, artistically it will be an evolution.
