Political electro pop princess M.I.A dropped her third and highly anticipated album /\/\/\Y/\ (MAYA) yesterday. It holds all her signature sounds; bombs, gunshots and explosions, but there is something softer happening. The track LOVEALOT features a tale about 2 lovers the husband, a terrorist leader killed last year by police, and the wife, a teenager who tried to avenge his death by suicide-bombing the Moscow subway. Love songs done in true M.I.A fashion.
Thank you for yet another thought provoking album that also makes you want to get on the floor and dance, dance, dance... Then go change the world.
Here's a video of one of my favorite female music&fashion innovators who continues to push the envelope and looks real good doing it.
with love Kristy
