M.I.A Does Not Mean Missing In Action…Sort Of
by eccentric1 on Feb.18, 2009, under Eccentric
She definintely is not missing in action, but to me she sort of was,as I just got wind of her. I know it kind of shocked me when I found she has been out for a couple of years. Nonetheless, I heard the sample of the original track “Paper Planes” I think it was last year. However, when I saw the AWESOME movie Slumdog Millionaire, I thought, I gotta check this out in detail! I did and I fell in love with this track. Diplo, the person who produced it put his foot in this track! Eventhough it is a lil old, I gotta post this track for those late comers, like myself in this case. I believe that it is appropriate because so many have heard the sample, but maybe not have heard the song in its entirety and it should be given a thorough listen, so pick it up.

I didn’t see how this song was getting so much ear play. Realized that she is one of those rare eclectic U.K artists that has been on the scene for awhile. She writes, produces, and is a graphic artist. Tight! Not really sure though what genere of music you can classify her in. She says it’s “other”.

Preciate your comment Sam from traffic-is-king.com. I agree, she is dope!!! She’s like a one-stop shop. She got it on lock, with the graphics, the beats, whatever!
As far as the genre for M.I.A., allmusic.com classifies her as Electronica. I have not heard the entire CD yet, has anyone out there heard it? If, so fill me in. Are there any post-worthy tracks that I gotta post up?
