MikaAlready drawing comparisons to Freddie Mercury and Elton John, British sensation Mika is set to unveil the first single from his new album We Are Golden on MySpace  on Tuesday for 24 hours only- starting at 9:00 am EST.

The record is set to hit stores on September 22, and boasts Greg Greg Wells (Katy Perry, P!nk), and artists Imogen Heap and Final Fantasy’s Owen Pallett, among others.

The 25-year-old’s global following can be attributed to his applauded 2007 debut album Life In Cartoon Motion- which spawned mega pop anthems such as Grace Kelly, Love Today and Relax. The record sold over five million copies worldwide, and also gained a slew of awards and nominations including Grammys, Brit Awards, World Music Awards, and the UK’s most prestigious songwriting honor, the Ivor Novello Award.

We Are Golden has been described as Mika dealing with his adolescent teenage years and basically part two of his first album, and a video for the soaring new single is currently in pre-production, and will be helmed by acclaimed Swedish director Jonas Akerlund.
