“Take That Gross Look Off Your Faces…”
AUDIO By Beware on September 29, 2009 at 2:56 pm
Last year I posted a track from openly-gay French Freddie-Mercury-clone Mika and one of the comments read “I’m embarrassed to see this endorsed on this site.” Aside from said hate, majority of the feedback was surprisingly positive, which tells me most of our ears can hear past the glamboyant image and borderline glance of the Grammy-nominated pop singer.
It also tells me you just might like “One Foot Boy,” an album cut from his new, critically-acclaimed second album, The Boy Who Knew Too Much.
Don’t worry listeners, what starts off sounding like a pretentious loading screen from an old 8-bit NES game quickly turns tempting once the kick begins, only to blossom into an exceptionally bouncy blend of stuttering keys, Windex-clean drums and a bottom-feeding bassline, with the oh-so-proper fluttering and ingrained harmonies needed to tie it all together.
If you don’t like it…fine. To each their own.
Just, please, don’t hit snooze solely because you reside on Front St.

not too bad a track. will help my collection become even more strange and eclectic.
Pretty good. It’s got that nice, laid back to it. I can fuck with this.
It’s not terrible… kind of interesting… but I don’t hear anything remotely like Freddie Mercury in this song. Nice pop music though.
Shorty lookin nice and thick in the blue ruffles
where the hoes at?
The NES had loading screens?
I was disappointed by his second effort.. Dude has an amazing voice.. Too much harmonizing for my tastes.. It’s still in my top 10 of the year however..
“In Any Other World” off his first album was amazing.
i just took a chance and listened to this…
this is awful…shit sounds like a home depot commercial.
His first album is great
The beat is horrible, dudes voice is ok. I odnt know I am notreally feeling it too much. Sounds amateur
