M.I.A.
Hi, everyone. I didn't see a thread or discussion about M.I.A. yet, so I thought I'd see if anyone here has heard of her. She sings a mix of dance and Hip-Hop, basically. Her first song, "Galang" seemed to get quite a bit of sucess in the U.K. and elsewhere. I like her music because it has such an original sound that you don't hear often.
You can download "Galang" from here. If you want to see her newest video, click on this link, or go into real player and then choose "open URL" and enter this: http://www.cissme.com/beggars/rm/xl/...186-03_rvh.ram It's a pretty neat video, and her sound is so exotic and cool. And she's hot, too. You can find her official site at miauk.com. And here is a site with her all her song lyrics. Enjoy, and tell me what you think of her. |

are you reading my thoughts... i've thought of posting something about her here the past couple of weeks, but never got to do it .... I LOVE M.I.A. We listen to her at my office pretty much every day the whole album - it was my boss's boyfriend (he shares the office with us) who introduced me to her. I must admit he listens to GREAT music and there is always something awsome coming out of hims G5 iTunes non-stop! (with the occasional KCRW Santa Monica broadcast) He told me she based in the UKm but is from Pakistan?! I dont know, have not have chance to look her up, but i enjoy her music and her 'screamy' voice... its catchy.... "what can i get for 10 dollaaaaaaaaaaaar? ... n-e-thing you want!..." |

Yeah it does rock!
Haha, from what I've gathered about her, she was born in the UK but lived in Sri Lanka and later, in India, until she was in her teens. Then they moved back to the UK cause Sri Lanka was about to have a civil war, and her father was a revolutionary leader for the minority population in Sri Lanka. So she went to college in the UK and studied film, and then started a project with some dj named Dilpo, I think, and then she started playing with a synth and wanted to record her own music... And now she's here! |
