OK, this is bubblegum pop. The sort you chew on and it loses its flavor fifteen minutes later. But it’s damn catchy, isn’t it? Or maybe you consider your tastes too refined to enjoy a slice of bubblegum? That’s fine. It’s not for everyone. Personally, I prefer chocolate. (Who doesn’t?) But for the next fifteen…

No, it’s not a U2 cover… It’s another gorgeous MIKA original, which means a soaring vocal melody, vibrant beat and super colorful instrumentation all strung together by his always charismatic voice.

I don’t think there was anyone on the planet who didn’t love CHVRCHES debut album, The Bones Of What You Believe. If there was, well, clearly they have bad taste. If there was one album from 2013 that was universally loved, it was that one. After all, it was electronic enough to please the electro-pop…
