AOTD: 4/13/07 - Mika - Life in Cartoon Motion

Life in Cartoon Motion

“Life in Cartoon Motion” is the debut album of a Lebanese singer, Mika. He grew up in a musical family and took opera lessons. Other stuff happened? He refuses to respond to any questions about his sexual orientation, but I think his music says it all. He’s very flamboyant and giddy. He uses falsetto a lot which is amazing. Love that. He sounds a bit like Elton John and a lot like Freddie Mercury. People title him “this generation’s Freddie Mercury” but I think that’s just plain dumb. “Big Girl [You Are Beautiful]” reminds me a lot of “Fat Bottomed Girl” by Queen. So yeah.

I really like “Love Today” and that’s about all that stands out for me at the moment. I’ve only just downloaded it. Figured it was time for another Album of the Day. Enjoy!

(I was going to show the track listing too, but I think it’s messed up…)


[This is ripped from another forum I post at, but I figured you guys who don't already have the album may want to have it, too.]
