Hyperlove is MIKA s latest studio album, marking a return to international pop performed in English. The album fits within a contemporary pop and electropop aesthetic, with a polished and well-structured production. Its themes focus on relationships, emotions, and love in a modern context. This project represents a new stage in MIKA s artistic evolution, following in the footsteps of a career launched with Life in Cartoon Motion, his debut album and a major international success.

Hyperlove stays within the standard of modern productions, featuring a stereo version that is heavily dynamically compressed (DR6) and a Dolby Atmos version that delivers both dynamic range and immersive sound.

The Dolby Atmos mix is particularly successful in its use of spatial audio, creating a well-balanced and engaging listening experience. For those equipped with a 7.1.4 (or 9.1.6) system, the Atmos mix can be appreciated in its full depth and dimension on this album.

Spatialization of the album in 9.1.6, it’s a full Atmos mix.

Enjoy listening,
