Life In Cartoon Motion – MIKAView More By MIKA Our ReviewNo less an authority than Sex Pistol-cum-DJ Steve Jones has opined he finds the aught-something UK pop scene a dizzying, trend-challenged stew, a notion this cocky debut by Lebanon-born/Paris conservatory trained Mika reinforces with high-flying glee. Deconstruct it and you’ll find some familiar ‘70s sonic touchstones at its core, specifically Elton John’s pop-craft smarts and Freddie Mercury’s flair for over-the-top showmanship, right down to the delicious, campy abandon with which the musician delivers his soaring falsetto on the impossibly effervescent opener/Euro-breakout single “Grace Kelly.” “Relax” suggests the Scissor Sisters with a serious Abba jones, while “Interpretation” spotlights a solid, more traditional ballad instinct and the Broadway-ready “Billy Brown” showcases an artist who knows how to employ the copious surplus brass he carries between his musical legs.. Customer ReviewsFresh and Retro At Once (5 stars)Mika's debut album will draw (and has drawn) comparisions to artists before him. However, his songs are unique, quirky confections. Indulge in this album. The songs are easy to get lost in, but listen for the serious spoken bits between some of them. My one qualm--this could qualify as "pop" rather than "rock." 1) Grace Kelly is the album's best-known single, and it is catchy.--5 2) Lollipop is about being wary of love, Phenomenal All Around (5 stars) Mika is a phenomenal vocalist and musician; his classical training in the Royal College of Opera is extremely valuable. This training gives him a real credibility, unlike many other popular musicians which plague our airwaves today. Mika's falsetto is unbelievable, his vocal range is superb, a modern-day reincarnation of Freddie Mercury's unforgettable talent. Furthermore, Mika's music is uplifting, soul affirming, from the very depths of You're going to "love, love", him. (5 stars) MIKA, MIKA, MIKA. Where do I begin? All I can say is if you enjoy fun, melodic, & quirky pop music then MIKA will suit you just fine. This man is amazing. The album will take awhile to grow on you especially the slower songs, but trust me you will fall in love with this album. I honestly do love all of the tracks but some of the standouts for me would have to be the first single, “Grace Kelly”, the second single, “Love Today”,
