Mix electro clash with Baile-funk and a twist of hip hop and what you get is a distinctive performer that goes by the name ofM.I.A. This Sri Lankan-born singer/rapper has been captivating audiences worldwide since collaborating with Diplo back in 2004. M.I.As 2005 album Arular personified her amazing crossover appeal with smash hits Bucky Done Gun and Galangpropelling her to super-stardom. Her willingness to tackle issues of consumerism, poverty and war with her ever-cheeky and edgy scattergun-rapping style set her apart as an artist who isnt afraid to deliver a real, shocking and honest message.
Her live shows are as outrageous as her fashion-sense and with her uniquely powerful and gritty sound, M.I.A. has been mesmerising audiences worldwide. In 2007, M.I.A. is armed to stay the name on everyones lips with her forthcoming second studio album Kala set to be released August 18th. The first single Boyz has already become a perfect anthem for the European summer and has been getting a huge amount of air play on radios all over the world. The producers of the album read like an all-star cast of music brilliance, with none other than Timbaland, Diplo and man of the moment, Switch, all lending their crafty skills to the new release.
