M.I.A.
Like Maya Arulpragasam herself the music of M.I.A. is adventurous, strong and not unlike a meeting of different worlds. Western clubs beats collide with unique samples and international sounds while her lyrics cross hip-hop slang with patois and modern rock tracks. It’s party and politics, and it’s certainly fresh.
