Mika's new album 'Hyperlove' due later this month

Brit Award-winning, and Grammy-nominated pop singer Mika - known for the international hits “Grace Kelly,” "Relax (Take it Easy)," "Love Today," "Big Girl," "Lollipop," "Popular Song" and others and multi-platinum 2007 debut album Life in Cartoon Motion, plus collaborations with Pharrell Williams, Ariana Grande, and Gregg Wells - will release his seventh studio album, Hyperlove, on Jan. 23 via Republic Records. 

It was produced by Mika alongside Nick Littlemore (Empire of the Sun), with additional production by Peter Mayes (Pnau). Written almost entirely by Mika, Hyperlove also features select co-writing collaborations with Littlemore and others. There is also a narration by the American filmmaker John Waters. 

Hyperlove marks Mika's first English-language studio release since 2019 and finds him returning to the piano as the core of his songwriting. Built entirely from analogue and vintage sources, it showcases his classically trained voice.

The long-awaited return of Heavenly

Oxford, England indie pop band Heavenly returns Highway To Heavenly, its first studio album in 39 years, on Feb. 27.

During the 1990s, the group released four albums and an EP. Heavenly were on Sarah Records in the UK and on Olympia, Washington's influential K Records in the US - and maybe this is a useful shorthand for understanding the band’s ability to meld the attitude of American Riot Grrrl bands with the pop charms of the English indie scene. In terms of style, Heavenly presented an androgynous look – short hair and pinafores for Amelia and Cathy - while Peter Rob and Mathew determinedly avoided the theatrics of male rock.

Heavenly has recently enjoyed a huge resurgence of interest from a younger generation of fans, who have cottoned on to Heavenly’s music, but also embraced the band’s inclusive version of feminism. 

The current lineup comprises original members Amelia Fletcher, Peter Momtchiloff, Cathy Rogers and Rob Pursey, who are now joined on drums by Ian Button. (An important element of the Heavenly story was the loss of Mathew Fletcher, who took his own life just before the fourth album was released. It took Amelia, Peter, Cathy and Rob a long time to get over the loss; maybe it took even longer to find a drummer as good as Ian.)

The new Heavenly have played a number of sold-out shows in the past couple of years, where older fans have mingled with new devotees. The band are looking forward to their slow-motion international tour in the first half of 2026, with dates in the UK, the US, Canada, France, Greece and Spain.

Highway To Heavenly was recorded at Rumbaba (Deptford, London) and at The Sunday School (Kent). It was produced by Toby Burroughs.

Heavenly are:
Amelia Fletcher – vocals, guitar, Cathy Rogers – vocals, keyboard, Ian Button – drums, Peter Momtchiloff – guitar, Rob Pursey – bass
