The Monday Morning Mix-Up: The Mika Edition

Well, it seems as though more than just Troy and Hilda know about Mika because I had three people vote for him! He has quickly become one of my favorite British imports here in the states. And since he only has one album there won't be much of a traditional mix-up, so instead I will just go through the CD! Here it goes:


  • Grace Kelly - A great song, his first single both in England and here in the States. Just a fun song, really shows off his vocal range!
  • Lollipop - A fun song that depending on how you interpret it, could be either childish and fun, or be full of sexual innuendo.
  • My Interpretation - One of my top four songs on the CD! It just talks about how everything is different for everyone because it is up to their interpretation!
  • Love Today - A fun and optimistic song, with a great message, that everybody should love everyday, in any way, just love.
  • Relax (Take It Easy) - Again, fun song. Everyone needs some sort of a break at some point in time.
  • Ring Ring - It's a good song, probably my least favorite on the album, but it is still a good song.
  • Any Other World - A great song about the freedom in some places that are not always allowed in certain places.
  • Billy Brown - Another of my top four from the album. About a man who is married and has kids, and decides to have an affair, with another man. Then goes on vacation by himself and hooks up with a woman.
  • Big Girl (You Are Beautiful) - Another one in the top four...a song that says everyone is beautiful, no matter of shape or size!
  • Stuck In The Middle - A good song, again, one I sometimes skip over, but it is about not knowing exactly where to go, which side, etc
  • Erase - The last of my top four! This is the power ballad on the album, about a guy who calls his ex who he still loves, and leaves a message on her phone, and wants her to erase the message before she listens to it.
  • Happy Ending - Because all albums should have a happy ending! And this one literally does...a very fun song, complete with choir!
Well that is the debut album from Mika, Life In Cartoon Motion! He is currently working on his second album, which should be out late this year or early next year!
