| | Music: Tiny Tunes (Weekly Alibi . 01-31-00) |
 | | According to the press releases, Prozzak is the Euro-pop duo of vocalist Simon, from the Isle of Man, and Austrian guitarist Milo, and indeed the two sing with the respective accents of their homelands. |
 | | The cartoons on the CD sleeve and the animated videos for the singles, "Europa" and "Sucks To Be You," show the pair travelling through a vividly-colored world in search of Simon's unattainable dream girl as they sing bright and bouncy synth-and-acoustic-guitar pop songs that wouldn't sound out of place in the Eurovision Song Contest. |
 | | Ironically, for all the silly trappings, Prozzak's songs are surprisingly solid and tuneful, with the aforementioned singles and tracks like "Omobolasire," "Tsunami" and "Annalisa" not only as ineradicably catchy as any early MTV hit, but far more lyrically acute and emotionally real than you'd ever expect from singing cartoon characters. |
