Come join me in my studio, won't you?

That nice Brit musician Mika is hard at work on his second album. On his site, he's got a new little video tour taking you into the studio with him, and he gabs merrily about how he puts songs together, and serves up snippets of his recent collaborations with with Owen Pallett (aka Final Fantasy) and the Andre Crouch Gospel Choir. Hear a bit of the "Clapping Song!"

It all sounds fab and as high-energy and dreamy/poppy as you'd expect. And watching Mika get animated about it is adorable. He's a happy little muppet!

Mika likes getting technical.
