{"product_id":"life-in-cartoon-motion","title":"Life In Cartoon Motion","description":"\u003cp\u003eTake a light sprinkle of Freddie Mercury, add a dash of Beck, mix with a drop of Prince, a pinch of Bolan, Stir well eh voila! ladies and gentlemen, please meet Mika. \u003ci\u003eLife in Cartoon Motion\u003c\/i\u003e is the debut album from musical virtuoso Mika, the sort of goose-bump-brilliant star that British pop. Debonair, with a touch of degenerate dandy, Mika has a stunning, you-wouldn't-believe-it life story (born in Beirut, grew up in the war, a father held hostage in an embassy in Kuwait, self-imposed exile in Paris before settling in London) and you have the first chapter in a story that is destined to keep us enthralled for the foreseeable future. you may already be aware of his signature song, 'Grace Kelly', a sensational 4\/4 opera set to a technicolour pop backdrop. The infectious pomp of 'Grace Kelly' became a benchmark for where Mika wanted to go, with the results displayed in gloriously full effect on \u003ci\u003eLife in Cartoon Motion\u003c\/i\u003e. A songwriter, performer, producer and orchestrator, Mika's songs combine a heady euphoric rush with darker unexpected elements: daytime melodramas and night-time tales of love, loss, abandonment, hope and happiness. The album also comes with some brilliant artwork created by Mika himself. His pop debut finds the crosspoint between a Baz Luhrmann soundtrack and a classic seventies episode of top of the pops. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Island","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50490860044619,"sku":"2217309","price":42.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50490859848011,"sku":"279695","price":8.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Life_In_Cartoon_Motion_918623b8_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727677192","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/products\/life-in-cartoon-motion","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
