Mika Artist Snapshot:

Flamboyant U.K. singer-songwriter Mika was heralded as both a one-man Scissor Sisters and the heir to Freddie Mercury's glam throne. Mika's debut single, "Grace Kelly," shot to the top of the U.K. singles chart upon its release in January 2007, with the song's unselfconscious sense of camp endearing him to the "guilty pleasure" crowd. Mika's debut full-length, LIFE IN CARTOON MOTION, followed suit, topping the U.K. albums chart in February of the same year. A blend of soft rock and melodramatic piano ballads, the album also displayed the influence of Prince and Harry Nilsson, and even some of the eclecticism of Beck.

Review

Rolling Stone (p.74) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[H]e serves up huge, ultraflamboyant razzle-dazzle, often transmitted through pounded piano..."
Spin (p.88) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "[T]his U.K.-chart-topping magpie makes good with bountiful tunes and Broadway vocal dazzle..."
Q (p.113) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "'Any Other World' is an orchestrated piece in the style of Rufus Wainwright, and 'Happy Ending' is sweet and highly original pop."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.100) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "For anyone who fancies an irresistible mix of vaudeville and disco, this is just perfect."

Title Note

On his 2007 debut, LIFE IN CARTOON MOTION, U.K.-based performer Mika (born Michael Holbrook Penniman) offers up a set of songs as vibrant and bold as the album's colorful cover. Boasting a multi-octave vocal range, Mika readily recalls both Queen's Freddie Mercury and the Bee-Gees, and like those artists, the young singer/pianist glides effortlessly between buoyant glam-tinged pop ("Grace Kelly") and falsetto-wielding disco ("Love Today"), making LIFE one of the most curiously impressive radio-friendly releases of the year.
