From Amazon.co.uk

The pop world might be all cooing 'n' cross-eyed over this flamboyant elfin with extended tail-feathers, as if it were shaken suddenly from a slumber, but the arrival of such a character was in fact always inevitable. He's an unlikely but traceable amalgamation of random pop culture explosions from the past few years--two parts Paulo Nutini, one part Kemal from Big Brother, a dash of Daphne & Celeste, a barrel measure of Scissor Sisters, and another pinch of post-ironic dancing to Elton John at the Students' Union gone midnight. It's no secret that the UK has a weakness for pretty-boy singer songwriters either--he fits in there too, in that he's about to stick its index finger in the socket and pour it a drink.

Give it 12 months and you might be taking out a restraining order--Mika will split opinion--but his quasi-soul falsetto is unbelievable, that much is immediately obvious. There are moments nearing syrupy Feeling-esque normalcy (take "My Interpretation"), but those aside it's high camp insatiability all the way. There's a hint of Freddie Mercury's theatricality in the voice, and in "Big Girl" he's even written a modern day "Fat Bottomed Girls". "Lollipop" is Jake Shears leading the Jackson 5, "Love Today" is the missing link between the Bee Gees and Village People and "Relax, Take It Easy" is a chilled Pet Shop Boys in gold lamé. Too cheesy to be a classic, perhaps, but this is just the brand of subversive eccentricity Robbie has failed miserably to achieve over his past few albums. --James Berry

Album Description

`Historic', `sensational', `flamboyant' and `without-any-doubt original' are just some of the adjectives being thrown around by critics in praise of 22 year-old UK newcomer, Mika's eclectic debut album, Life In Cartoon Motion.

Fun, smart, musically adventurous and thematically provocative, the songs on Life In Cartoon Motion, all of them written and produced by Mika, combine euphoric rushes of melody with darker unexpected elements. They range from bright daytime melodramas to night-time tales of love, loss, abandonment, hope and happiness. Each is a splendid blend of fresh imagination and deft pop craftsmanship.

Album gems such as "Grace Kelly," "Lollipop," Billy Brown," and "Relax And Take It Easy," display Mika's innovative wordplay. `I've always respected people who make great records to their own vision,' writes the quixotic Mika. Mission accomplished!

Customer Reviews:

Is Mika really Miss Piggy?.......2007-08-07

Wow, where do I start? First off, the Scissor Sisters is one of my favorite bands, and I feel like Mika is blatantly ripping them off, but has far less skills than they do. His voice is so shrill and high-pitched it gets hard to listen to, and musically, I just can't find many interesting things about his music. But that is after hearing the Scissor Sisters. If you like Mika, be SURE to check them out!!!

After a while, I actually start thinking it's Miss Piggy singing - if you own this CD, listen to it and you'll see!!! The song where he keeps repeating "Love me, love me" I always hear "Kermie, Kermie" Sorry, this is probably rude, and I'm sure many people disagree with me, but I can't stand this CD. It makes me want to kick my stereo in. If you value your electronics and don't want to kick them in in a panic-induced rage, then don't buy this CD!

Mika is amazing........2007-07-21

Mika has brought us one of the most fun CDs that I've seen in a few years. Yes, he sounds like Freddie Mercury at times, but he's got a style of his own.

If you've heard Grace Kelly, you should have a good idea of what Mika is all about. It's fun, high-pitched pop. If you're turned off by his falsetto, stay away from this album.

There are a couple not-so-good songs on this album at the end (I don't even remember their names because I skip over them), but other than that, every song will get stuck in your head for days. I highly recommend this!

Needs some editing.......2007-07-06

I agree this is a very good album, but the end of Track 6 (Ring Ring) and less so 7, has an annoying segment with a woman speaking in broken english talking about having her heart broken and left with only one eye! It would be cute if it was quick, but it goes on for 45 seconds! There is also a bonus song following the last song "Happy Ending" There's a 1 minute gap between the last song and the bonus song. (a song cookie?) How many people pop out the CD at that point thinking it's over? It's a very haunting piece with a piano and falsetto vocal. I used a music editing program to get rid of the 45 second rambling spoken word segment and to cut out the 1 minute gap between the bonus track.

Mika Rocks.......2007-07-03

Love listening to new talent! I saw Mika on Good Morning America and knew right away I was looking at a success story! Music that makes your heart sing!

Amazing Debut CD.......2007-06-28

I'm a little late to the game when it comes to being a Mika fan, but in this case, it is definitely better late than never. This CD is phenomenal! His style! His voice! The songs! I could go on and on and on and on.
"Grace Kelly" starts off the cd, and it grabs you right from the start. By the time you are grooving to "Big Girl" near the end of the cd, you'll suddenly realize you haven't had this much fun listening to a cd in a long, long time.
Give it a try. Trust me, you won't regret it.

Not Great versions........2007-06-06

I did not like this CD Single export. I expect unreleased or unusual remixes of the origingal music, which I did not find here. I love Mika, the full album with the acoustic of Grace Kelly. THe Love Today single CD was also a waste of money. Stick to the whole CD.

A surprising album.......2007-05-07

This is a really good album. Mika is a fantastic singer, his music is happy and different. And his voice... there is not another voice so good nowadays

Makes my ears bleed.......2007-03-29

Overly dramatic breathy singing, baaaaad falsetto, creepy desperate lyrics. If it's supposed to be a joke, I just don't get it. If it's serious, I don't get it either. To each their own, but I hate it.

When today meets crazy genius meets Freddy.......2007-03-09

The first time I heard Mika I thought that Freddy Mercury had come back. His music is reminiscent of some early Queen, with some very wacky things thrown in here and there. This is not for the mundane, easy listening customer. It is catchy, crazy and fun. Mike is worth listening to, just to hear what he'll come up with next.

A Star in the Making!.......2007-03-05

Mika will be a name you remember. Maybe not right away, but in the near future. He is already a staple in the UK (simply because radio embraces ALL new music there, not just Hip-Hop) with this single, "Grace Kelly", which remained at the top of the charts for 5 weeks.

Anyone who has a 4-octave vocal range, has a flair for dramatics, and a tounge-in-cheek attitude deserves respect. Mika will soon get that here in the US.

Synthpop with Human Soul.......2004-01-27

Austria's contributions to modern music have been dubious at best. Most notorious amongst them was Falco, a club-hopping clown, who, in the era of Reagan, Thatcher and a divided Europe, forged a laughable link between the cheesy synthesizer doodlings of 80's techno and the brilliance of an 18th century prodigy who played for the court of Salzburg. While the laptop-pop collaborators of Mika hail from the same homeland, they are not plagued by the same over-the-top pomposity and delusions of grandeur that prompted the new wave jester to pen "Rock Me Amadeus."

They do, however, share his love of the synthesizer, especially the loud, moody and aggressive one that propelled most dance music in Europe during the era of denim, day-glo and the feathered, faux-hawk mullet. Fortunately, Mika comes from a better stock than most of those musicians and understands the best electronic songs have a human soul. Right Place, Right Time is drawn from the same synthesized roots as albums from Human League and Depeche Mode. But while DM's landmark Violator combined the majesty of spacey techno with the melancholy feelings of resignation and rebirth that inform post-punk, Mika fuses digital bliss with soulful pop in a way that at its best echoes the Pet Shop Boys and at its worst mimics modern downbeat maestros such as Royksopp, Plej and Ralph Myerz with the Jack Herren Band.

"Trampolin" is Mika at the top of its game. A big bass-drum beat wrapped in a driving synth riff propels forward a wistful chanteuse with a slight german lilt in her gentle voice. The track has a retro feel recalling the smoky, strobe-lit confines of an eastern European discotheque, circa 1986. Songs like "From Now On" and "Travelling Not Hunting" offer similarly nostalgic experiences, with enough lazy funk to make them suitable for today's chillout sessions. The more thoughtful and pensive "My Opinion Never Sleeps" goes in another direction, a nod perhaps to the softer side of new wave and the more recent organic movement as represented by Manitoba or M83.

Where Right Place, Right Time falls flat is on tracks like "Masquerade" and "Suga" that lapse into generic downtempo. There is already too much of this kind of music out there, and, without the European-flavored, synthpop spin of Mika's best material, it's just not good enough to be vital in a crowded field. Lyrically, Mika is also disappointing. Songs like "I Am Looking Through You" ("Tell me why don't you treat me right/Love has a way of disappearing overnight") are painfully predictable, while others such as "Travelling Not Hunting" ("Always check if everything's okay/Always check things when you travel") are downright odd. Few lyrics compliment the mood set by the instrumentation. Any artist reaching back to new wave should recognize the role good songwriting played in that musical movement (imagine synth-pop classics like Human League's "Don't You Want Me?" or the Eurythmic's "Sweet Dreams" without the vocal tracks). Alas, it's a lesson unlearned by even the best electronic artists of today.

Right Place, Right Time is a decent CD. None of the songs are bad, there is a consistent mood throughout, and remixed versions of "Trampolin" will probably make their way onto the better compilations discs this year. However, Mika fails to live up to the potential of its strongest tracks. This could be the group that rescues rocking, European-style synthpop from its vulgarization at the hands of electroclash hacks like Fischerspooner and Peaches. Mika just needs dual doses of the ambition and audacity that drove their deceased Austrian forbearers -- Mozart and Falco.

They've opened for the likes of The Gossip, The Moving Units, Gravy Train, XBXRX, and Deerhoof. Come "pony thrash" with them this fall on tour.

This is, quite simply, a wonderful, loud, high-intensity album. For those not in the know, Mika Miko is an all-girl garage-punk outfit out of Los Angeles specializing in songs that are distinct, fast, and catchy as hell (catchy in the Black Flag and Bad Brains sense that is). Solid production.
