the one with the kids is fucking awesome and most of them are better rappers than she is
never heard the MIA version, did she keep the original beat or just drop the kids vocals onto some Diplo track?

It's the original beat with a couple of extra flourishes dropped on it.

No idea why anyone feels the need to make an album that sounds like Gucci meets AC, but so be it. Maya's instincts aren't usually wrong. So long as it doesn't end up sounding something like this: Gucci Collective.

don't know what the fuss, stuff like 'Lion In A Coma' isn't that far off previous MIA anyway (aside from the singing).

pretty sure its not like a cover album r anything, soundz like yr typical "like radiohead ON ACID" record hype rhetoric tbh

Clearly. But the rhetoric is silly! And also, it doesn't sound particularly appealing!

it sounds like diplo is just using two in-vogue acts as signposts

Sounds good. She needs to learn not to fill up every space on the song with her voice, tho.

part of me is waiting for reasons not to love her, and that part keeps getting disappointed. good song.

Anyone at/going to her album playback in Soho? It's starting right now if you're in town.

I really hope that Rusko track isn't evidence of a new direction.

oh, so i guess she didn't record a bunch of drummers in India for 'Bird Flu' like all those interviews claimed.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcQyMmjMrP4
maybe the live drums did end up on 'Boyz', or maybe the recordings weren't usable but made for a better story then "we ended up just using a sample".
