M.I.A.: Premature Evaluation: M.I.A. – ///Y/

submitted by Nick Jun 30th 2010 09:01 pm (stereogum.com)

It took the full album leak to hear where M.I.A. went with her third album, ///Y/, because the first tracks we heard were so different: the aggressive, Suicide-sampling “Born Free,” the luxe Europop of “XXXO,” the industrial grind of “Steppin’ Up“,” the playful club track, “Teqkilla.” It was true of her second album, Kala, [...]

submitted by Nick Nov 7th 2013 03:00 pm (stereogum.com)

David Bowie, who’s been awfully busy lately, is the star of a new short film called L’Invitation Au Voyage, which doubles as an advertisement for Louis Vuitton. Romain Gavras, who’s made great music videos for Justice and for M.I.A., directed it. The American model Arizona Muse (no really, that’s her name)...

M.I.A.: Premature Evaluation: M.I.A. Matangi

submitted by Nick Nov 4th 2013 07:00 pm (stereogum.com)

Talking to Pitchfork last month, M.I.A. called “Paper Planes” “an accident”: “It wasn’t a song we made for the masses. It took two years to get popular, and there were many fights about censoring the gunshot sounds.” And she’s right; the track took a weird and circui...
