STAGE TUBE: Mika Releases Music Video for 'Popular Song,' Featuring Ariana Grande

By: Kelsey Denette May. 01, 2013

"Popular Song" is a hit from The Origin Of Love, MIKA's third album to date - described as a two year DIY labour of love, completely self-created and self-imagined.

The track offers a fresh twist on "Popular" from WICKED, composed by Stephen Schwartz. In a historic move, Schwartz authorized the usage of his music for the first time ever.

The just-released video for the song features Ariana Grande, who appeared on Broadway in Jason Robert Brown's '13.' View it below!
