MIA

There was a time when I thought I probably wouldn't be into MIA, let alone be motivated to share a track. See, when Kala, her second album, dropped in 2007, the critics drooled all over it.

I didn't see the big deal. Sure, it was lyrically interesting, but I wasn't too convinced by the whole genre-bending that she only sometimes pulled off successfully. I thought it was an inconsistent record, with individual tracks that were sometimes excellent, sometimes thin or overambitious.

Anyways, the single from her forthcoming album, Maya sounds great:



Anyways, it's coming out July 13th, but, if it's anywhere as popular as her first two, you won't need me to play the tracks for you. I figure I'll review it anyway though.
