Product Description

Take a light sprinkle of Freddie Mercury, add a dash of Beck, mix with a drop of Prince, a pinch of Bolan, stir well eh voila! Ladies and Gentlemen, please meet Mika. 'Life In Cartoon Motion' is the debut album from musical virtuoso Mika, the sort of goose-bump-brilliant star that British pop is in desperate need of right now, and who is being tipped as a major breakthrough artist for 2007

Debonair, with a touch of degenerate dandy, Mika has a stunning, you-wouldn't-believe-it life story (born in Beirut, grew up in the war, a father held hostage in an embassy in Kuwait, self-imposed exile in Paris before settling in London) and you have the first chapter in a story that is destined to keep us enthralled for the foreseeable future. You may already be aware of his signature song, 'Grace Kelly', a sensational 4/4 opera set to a technicolour pop backdrop. The infectious pomp of 'Grace Kelly' became a benchmark for where Mika wanted to go, with the results displayed in gloriously full effect on 'Life in Cartoon Motion'.

A songwriter, performer, producer and orchestrator, Mika's songs combine a heady euphoric rush with darker unexpected elements: daytime melodramas and night-time tales of love, loss, abandonment, hope and happiness. The album also comes with some brilliant artwork created by Mika himself.
