Listen to “Immortal Love” by Mika
In what might be one of the shortest and most surprising album rollouts we’ve seen in quite some time. Global pop auteur MIKA has jolted the release calendar with the announcement of his brand-new album “Hyperlove“, arriving January 23rd. After years of methodically sculpted eras and carefully paced reveals, this sudden two-track lead-in feels like a thrilling creative sprint. Moreover, the kind that suggests an artist working from momentum and a burst of unfiltered inspiration. The announcement lands with extra impact thanks to the unveiling of “Immortal Love,” the second preview of the project, which immediately broadens the sonic and emotional world MIKA is building for this new chapter.
Just a month ago, MIKA re-emerged with “Modern Times,” a cathedral-sized collaboration with Nick Littlemore of Empire of the Sun. With its pulsing beat and widescreen emotional heft, the track marked a powerful return, above all, a declaration of spirit in the face of time’s constant acceleration. The reveal came paired with early details of his ambitious “Spinning Out” tour, set for 2026. And includes two major UK arena dates: London’s OVO Arena Wembley on February 11 and Manchester’s AO Arena on February 12. Tickets are available here.
Now, “Immortal Love” pushes MIKA’s sonic palette into another sparkling lane. Reuniting once again with Littlemore, he leans into a dreamy electro-pop revival — warm, danceable, and drenched in melodic nostalgia. But despite what the title might suggest, this isn’t a sweeping ode to a romantic partner. Instead, the track is partly inspired by one of the most steadfast companions in MIKA’s creative life: his beloved 15-year-old golden retriever. Subequently, the result is a song that radiates tenderness, memory, and that unmistakable MIKA ability to turn personal reflection into universal uplift. The chorus, especially, lands with an instant, timeless glow.
Across “Hyperlove“, MIKA explores the collision between digital culture and raw human feeling. ““The electricity that jumps between the plus and minus of a charge… hyper-love and hyper-living are about embracing that euphoria that helps you make sense of the world around you“, as he describes it. It’s a record rooted in vibrant and deeply felt emotion. Furthermore, it promises to continue MIKA’s lifelong balancing act of theatricality, honesty, and irresistible melody.
With “Modern Times” and “Immortal Love,” he’s offered two strikingly different but equally compelling entry points into the album’s emotional circuitry. Whereas “Hyperlove“ subsequently promises, thoughtfully crafted and joyfully resonant pop. A reminder of why MIKA remains one of the genre’s most inventive storytellers.
