Mika is faithful to himself on this new album, it's groovy and emotional and very often it's (too) smooth. Sometimes he has ideas like on Tiny Love, where everything goes in all directions, which is for me the best track, but which remains a kind of Bohemian Rhapsody of the poor. Otherwise, the rest of the time, he does Elton John without the same pen and interpretation. Happily Mika gives herself up a little here, and still has her beautiful voice
