Mika Returns : New single «Immortal Love» heralds a glittering comeback and piano‑led reinvention
Multi‑platinum, BRIT Award‑winning and GRAMMY‑nominated pop chameleon Mika has dropped a heart‑melting new single, «Immortal Love», and opened pre‑orders for «Hyperlove», his first English‑language studio album since 2019, due 23 January 2026 via Republic Records.
The shimmering single is a warm, nostalgic ode to connection — partly inspired by Mika’s constant creative companion, his 15‑year‑old golden retriever — and it arrives wrapped in that unmistakable Mika blend of theatrical pop and emotional candour. The chorus lands like a hymn: «It’s just immortal love / There’s just immortal love / We are immortal love», a line that already feels destined to lodge in the public ear.
«Immortal Love» follows the bold opener «Modern Times», a cathedral‑sized cry for spirit and resistance that set the tone for this new era and arrived with a striking video that expanded the album’s visual world. With «Hyperlove», Mika has returned to the piano as his creative compass, marrying analogue warmth and vintage gear with pristine electronic pop to craft a record that is at once fragile and euphoric.
The album explores the electric tension between digital life and human feeling — what Mika calls the charge between plus and minus — and promises a living, breathing landscape of vulnerability, grit and longing. To celebrate, he’s taking his kaleidoscopic live show back to North America next spring: The Spinning Out Tour kicks off 29 April 2026 in Boston and will sweep through major cities including New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and San Francisco. Tickets are on sale now.
With more than 20 million albums sold, chart success in 32 countries and a back catalogue that stretches from «Grace Kelly» to modern global hits, Mika remains one of pop’s most inventive and emotionally fearless figures. «Hyperlove» looks set to add another vivid chapter to a career built on possibility, colour and the kind of pop that refuses to play it safe.
We don’t know why Mika’s shop is limited to the United States (the land of homophobia), a move that has prompted criticism from fans concerned about accessibility and inclusivity outside USA.
