Mika的音乐非常悦耳,清新向上,你可以听见ORSON式的动感旋律,Daniel Powter式的真假声,Primal Scream式的随性.Mika的首支单曲《Relax, Take It Easy》被BBC Radio 1播放，并受到知名DJ的推崇。 2007年1月8日，环球唱片发行了他的单曲《Grace Kelly》，这首歌很快占据英国单曲榜的冠军位置。2007年2月5日，Mika乘胜追击，发行了自己的首张专辑《Life In Cartoon Motion》，他的音乐融合了舞曲，funk，流行和其他的元素。在很短的时间内，他模糊的私生活和音乐才华迅速地为他打开了知名度，人们谈起他时，总是把他和Freddie Mercury, George Michael, Scissor Sisters, Rufus Wainwright和Elton John相提并论。

Mika，原名Mica Penniman 1983年8月18日生于黎巴嫩首都贝鲁特一个美黎联姻的家庭（他的父亲是美国人，母亲是黎巴嫩人）。幼年时期随着家人辗转巴黎，他9岁时，全家才在伦敦定居下来。Mika的这张Life in Cartoon Motion已经不完全是一张专辑了，他是一张masterpiece，每首歌曲都充满了Mika的个人魅力，就是今年年底才发行这张专辑，我也觉得等待完全值得。Grace Kelly的确让人想起Queen的许多音乐，那种史诗般的感觉，那种真正活在音乐中的个性，Mika的演唱是无与伦比的，更无与伦比的是这张专辑的音乐，在Grace Kelly之后的第二首单曲还是同样歌剧般的歌曲Love Today，也许不是第二首单曲的最佳选择，不过Mika的演唱要来的比Grace Kelly更加大胆，假声的演唱都胜过了Scissor Sisters，实际上，歌迷们比较喜欢的还是另外一首歌曲，他是专辑中最佳，最与众不同，最有力量的作品，那就是Relax, Take It Easy。
想象一下当年Scissor Sisters走红的歌曲Comfortably Numb，Relax, Take It Easy是一首原创的Comfortably Numb，虽然不是专辑的第二单曲，单曲已经出现了英国下载排行榜上了，放下了华丽的外衣的是My Interpretation，Daniel Powter一般的抒情歌曲，没有美轮美奂的假声，没有复杂的电子，有的只是比较真诚的原来的Mika，Lollipop则更加像是一首音乐剧的歌曲，中速的节奏，catchy的旋律，咬字有特别的清晰，Mika的音乐从某种意义上说是一种做秀，他把一切能够的元素都运用起来，比如在Any Other World中，弦乐让你的心跳加速，而歌曲的环境又像是Mad World一般的黑暗，结尾的Happy Ending同样不容错过




Do I attract you?
Do I repulse you with my queasy smile?
Am I too dirty?
Am I too flirty?
Do I like what you like?
I could be wholesome
I could be loathsome
I guess Im a little bit shy
Why dont you like me?
Why dont you like me without making me try?
I try to be like Grace Kelly
But all her looks were too sad
So I try a little Freddie
Ive gone identity mad!
I could be brown
I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful
I could be purple
I could be anything you like
Gotta be green
Gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why dont you like me?
Why dont you like me?
Why dont you walk out the door!
How can I help it
How can I help it
How can I help what you think?
Hello my baby
Hello my baby
Putting my life on the brink
Why dont yo like me
Why dont you like me
Why dont you like yourself?
Should I bend over?
Should I look older just to be put on the shelf?
I try to be like Grace Kelly

But all her looks were too sad
So I try a little Freddie
Ive gone identity mad!
I could be brown
I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful
I could be purple
I could be anything you like
Gotta be green
Gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why dont you like me?
Why dont you like me?
Why dont you walk out the door!
Say what you want to satisfy yourself
But you only want what everybody else says you should want
I could be brown
I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful
I could be purple
I could be anything you like
Gotta be green
Gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why dont you like me?
Why dont you like me?
Why dont you walk out the door!
