4 out of 5 stars Brilliant pure-pop debut - great fun!   February 17, 2008
 2 out of 3 found this review helpful

Anyone just interested in serious, mature music should perhaps stop reading now. In fact, I wanted so much to consider this album as too low brow for my tastes, but I'm afraid that the majority of this album is just bl**dy good to be ignored or dismissed. Track-by-track, Mika's debut album just worked it's way into my psyche and became too tempting a collection to ignore. Most of it is catchy as hell, more infectious than MRSA and puts a massive grin on your face everytime you hear it... so how exactly are you supposed to ignore an album like that in an end of year list? Simple answer - you can't.

The best tracks on this album are 'Grace Kelly', three minutes of pop genius, 'Love Today', in which Mika instructs us to love today and also love Mika, and 'Big Girl (You Are Beautiful)' a fantastic, positive song which hits back at our image-concious society in a totally fabulous way. 'Billy Brown', a song about a sexually confused guy is also a great song, managing to be both simultaneously camp and touching. That's essentially the key to Mika's success on this album - it's camp, it's fun, it's pop, but it's not mindless fluff. It has life-affirming greatness running through it, but is perhaps half-a-dozen classic songs short of a truly great album. What 'Life In Cartoon Motion' is, however, is an album with a handful of extremely good, exceptionally enjoyable songs which are more than worth the price of the CD alone. I get the impression that you'll either love this or hate it - I'm with the former camp.



5 out of 5 stars Excellent music, well worth every penny   November 9, 2007

Just put the disc in, pull up a comfy chair or bed and enjoy. Mika is an emerging star in the music industry. He's going to be massive and this debut album gives you every reason to believe this. Versatile, innovative and fun, he's appealing to young and old alike. Highly recommended artist, i await his next album with anticipation.

I can hardly understand those who don't like Mika. His music is happy and uplifting, catchy and fun, layered and funny. I do have friends that don't like this album, but that's because they are musical snobs! In many ways you could regard this as classic pop (and what would be wrong with that?), but I think Mika is beyond just that.

I believe that Mika's music will stand the test of time and transcend the purely "pop" genre. He certainly seems a talented musician and a genuine soul in interview and I imagine this album will be among my favourites for a long time to come.

Highly recommended to celebrate a happy mood or to lift you from a low one.



4 out of 5 stars Great album!   October 16, 2007

This album is great - as other people have said, Mika is quite similar to Freddie Mercury in some ways, and his songs have a nice poppy feel.

The album contains the 4 songs released up to now, and lots of other good unreleased tracks. Most of them are 'growers#, like a lot of Mika's songs - you've got to listen a couple of times, but then you're singing them all day!

There's a fair bit of variety in the music, it doesn't all sound the same, but it all has a 'feelgood' factor.

Worth buying.

Is there a bonus track ' over the shoulder' with 'happy ending' in this cd? Please let me know.
Cheers
