Que ta tête fleurisse toujours (transl. May your head always bloom[1]) is the sixth studio album by British singer Mika, released on 1 December 2023 through Island Def Jam and Universal Music France.

Background and promotion

[edit]

Mika named the album after a phrase often repeated to him by his mother, Joannie Penniman, who died in 2021 from brain cancer.[5] The album marks his first in French and was preceded by the singles "C'est la Vie" (released in September 2023), "Apocalypse Calypso" (released in October), and "Jane Birkin" (released in November).[6] The singer embarked on the Apocalypse Calypso Tour starting in February 2024 to promote the album in Europe.[7]
