With Hyperlove, Mika returns to the piano as his creative compass, using it as the starting point for every song. From there, he embarks on a daring reinvention, merging the warmth of analogue imperfections with the pristine pulse of electronic pop. Crafted entirely with analogue and vintage outboard gear, the album feels tactile and alive—a living, breathing landscape full of vulnerability, grit, longing, and euphoria. It’s playful and dramatic but also emotionally grounded, balancing the joy Mika is famous for with a hard-earned sense of perspective.
