Born Free
M.I.A's new video for the single "Born Free" is just...I can't even describe it. It's complete and absolutely NSFW, for children, or for the squeamish. Suicide's song "Ghost Rider" is overwhelmingly sampled in the track, and its lyric "America America is killing its youth" seems to be a heavy influence on this video (or rather, short film, as it does much more than any music video I've seen recently). I'm not really sure what to make of it, or if I "like" it, but it definitely got me thinking.

I totally told you about Suicide AGES ago! "Ooooo...look what I discovered" indeed.
ReplyDeleteAh well, that *was* ages ago, and I'm older, wiser and cuter now. And that's all that matters. :)
