the blog world has been going apeshit the past few weeks over the lebanese, but raised in paris/london, wunderkind singer/songwriter, mika. i'm not quite sure if i'm on the fawning camp that many fans have sided on, but i have to admit that the songs are doggone catchy (think scissor sisters trying to make rufus wainwright music. the final results are interesting...but not quite perfect).
between you and me, mika reeks of record label tampering (his website features 6 songs that are all over the place in style, yet strangely familiar at the same time). but if success follows this young campy performer now, then i believe mika in three years time will be an exciting artist to go loopy for. decide for yourself.
check out the 1st video "grace kelly" (and some live performances) from his upcoming album life in cartoon motion here on yahoo music.
then check out more stuff below:
mika - relax, take it easy (live at ronnie scotts)
[so is he an electro pop act?...]
mika - grace kelly (live on jools holland)
[...or a piano playing swooon-inater? btw, this performance is too forced to be interesting. he's so lucky he's cute and has a crazy voice!]
mika - happy ending
[just cause i'm nice]
mika - love today
[finally, this song is the current theme song for the (r)ed campaign in the US, check out chris kattan and model alina get their groove on]
