The return of M.I.A.

After her absolutely brilliant debut album "Arular" she retuns with "Kala". And she follows it up with another corker of an album.
You Tube has most of the songs up in some format, so I urge to click on the video below and give them all a listen!! (read her Wiki page, she has lead an interesting life.)

(Andra this means you!!!)

The song and video for 'JimmyI is so much fun, and quite commercial sounding for her. I also urge you to check out the song "Paper Planes" (At the bottom of the post) as it just proves what considerable talent this young woman has.



"Paper Planes" (lyrics)

I fly like paper, get high like planes. If you catch me at the border I got visas in my name. If you come around here, I make 'em all day. I get one down in a second if you wait

Sometimes I feel sitting on trains. Every stop I get to I'm clocking that game. Everyone's a winner now we're making that fame. Bonafide hustler making my name

All I wanna do is (BANG BANG BANG BANG!), and (KKKAAAA CHING!), and take your money
All I wanna do is (BANG BANG BANG BANG!), and (KKKAAAA CHING!), and take your money
All I wanna do is (BANG BANG BANG BANG!), and (KKKAAAA CHING!), and take your money

Pirate skulls and bones. Sticks and stones and weed and bombs. Running when we hit 'em. Lethal poison through their system

No one on the corner has swag like us. Hit me on my banner prepaid wireless. We pack and deliver like UPS trucks. A radio in hell just pumping that gas

M.I.A.. Third world democracy. Yeah, I got more records than the K.G.B.. So, uh, no funny business

Some some some I some I murder. Some I some I let go. Some some some I some I murder. Some I some I let go
