Maya Arulpragasam, AKA M.I.A.

It's the best kind of pop album imaginable. It can be enjoyed on a purely physical level, and it also carries the potential to adjust your worldview. - All Music Guide

A Tamil Srilankan girl raised in the UK whose dad served in the Tamil Militant group.I first saw her in MTV news but i did'nt bother to listen or find out more about her album.Last month's Blender carried an article about her and thats where i learned more about M.I.A.But i was still not as curious to listen to her songs and had no idea what i was missing.Its great music with heavy rythmic beats.Well, i love beats but this album is not pure hip-hop or pop but a beautiful unclassifiable addictive album.My personal fav track in the album is 10 dollar cause it has a small bit of tamil lyrics in it.The best thing to do is clear your mind of hype and expectations, and listen to this record -- this fun, addictive, thoroughly entertaining record -- again and again.

...Arriving in London in 1986, M.I.A. knew only four words in English, two of them "Michael Jackson."

"I was really obsessed," she laughs, "but so was the whole nation. There were a lot of little Michael Jacksons walking around Sri Lanka." .
