Michael Holbrook Penniman (born 18 August 1983), known as Mika, is a London-based, Grammy-nominated and BRIT Award-winning singer-songwriter, who has a recording contract with Casablanca Records and Universal Music. He rose to fame at the start of 2007.
“The Boy Who Knew Too Much” is the upcoming second studio album by pop singer Mika. It is set to be released on September 21, 2009, under Casablanca Records through Universal Music Group.

Background
Mika worked with producer Greg Wells, who also produced his debut album Life in Cartoon Motion. The album was written in Olympic Studios, London, which began in June 2008. In September 2008 he moved to Rocket Carousel Studios, Los Angeles, where the album was recorded. Mika has described the album’s themes as dealing with his teenage years, and “in a sense is kind of part two” of his first album. The album was originally titled We Are Golden after the first single from the album, “We Are Golden”. On July 20, 2009 in an on-air interview with DJ, Jo Whiley on BBC Radio 1, Mika revealed he was considering renaming the album, because he wanted “something a little more ridiculous.” On 6 August, 2009 it was confirmed that the album’s title would change to The Boy Who Knew Too Much.

Cover design
As with Mika’s debut album Life in Cartoon Motion, the album art has been designed by Mika’s sister (who works under the nom de plume DaWack), Richard Hogg and Mika himself. The artwork has been inspired by children’s picture books from the 1940s to 1970s.

Singles
# “We Are Golden” is the first single from the album. It made its radio debut in the United Kingdom on July 20, 2009.
