MIA's fourth album, which is the follow-up to her 2010 record 'Maya', is rumoured to feature contributions from Swizz Beatz, Cataracs and Chris Brown.

Yeah. I already heard the rumour and I'm already KMT about the whole thing.
Honestly, Cataracs might be enough. I don't dislike their role in Dev or G6 or whatever, but it just seems like a wrongheaded move.
I really liked /\/\ /\ Y /\ and there were a bunch of fruitful directions on Vicki Leekx. This isn't one of them, imo.

at least "Bad Girls" is dope tho
― I spend a lot of time thinking about apricots (DJP), Monday, 30 January 2012 23:49 (twelve years ago) link
yeah I like all her albums a lot, maybe MAYA the most tbh. but this does not sound interesting.

Bad Girls is dope, but of the two tracks off Vicki Leekx that felt like actual songs, 'GEN -N-E-Y' felt like something she hadn't really done before.
Bad Girls is awesome, but it could have slotted in no problem in KALA.

I feel like I've heard that song from countless other people before. I hope she isn't try to step back from doing "difficult" songs like she did with her mixtape and last album. Why all of a sudden there is an expectation of her being commercially successful?
*Looks at Wikipedia page of "Paper Planes"*
Oh shit the song was that popular???? Well OK then.

it's hilarious that after whittling her fanbase in half or something following MAYA she thanks hardcore fans for sticking around by working with the cataracts and chris brown

sounds like a more 'pop' Steppin Up. bit boring tbf. i hope a proper version of Gen NEY proper is on this album though.

"Bad Girls" was on the Vicki Leekx mixtape from Dec '10 and was one of the songs used to promote it.
― I spend a lot of time thinking about apricots (DJP), Tuesday, 31 January 2012 20:47 (twelve years ago) link
indeed. this is the finished version off the album supposedly, it's produced by Danja whoever that might be.
― piscesx, Tuesday, 31 January 2012 21:07 (twelve years ago) link
With Timbaland, Hills produced a wide catalog of songs that helped return the famous producer to prominence in 2006 with an ongoing string of hits throughout the year until present, including "Put You On The Game" by rapper The Game, "Promiscuous" and "Say It Right" by Nelly Furtado, "SexyBack", "What Goes Around...Comes Around" and "My Love" by Justin Timberlake among others, such as "Love Story" by Katharine McPhee, "Innocence" and "Earth Intruders" by Björk, and "Give It to Me" and "The Way I Are" off Timbaland's second solo album.[5]In 2007, Danja produced "Gimme More" for Britney Spears, as well as "Break the Ice" and five other tracks for her Blackout album. The following year, he produced "Kill the Lights" and four other songs for Britney Spears' album Circus, but only three songs appeared on the album.His works in recent years include, Madonna, "4 Minutes", Mariah Carey on her song "Migrate" from E=MC², Keri Hilson on her song "Knock You Down" from In a Perfect World..., P!nk on her song "Sober" from Funhouse.

I love the video

tbh i would be quite happy if the video just consisted of the bit where she's dressed in black in front of the bonfire for the entire length of the track. she is stunning.
― pandemic, Friday, 3 February 2012 18:37 (twelve years ago) link
whereas I was hoping for a continuous shot of her chilling on the side of the car while it's up on two wheels

The video is great. Wonder why noone thought of making a music video of people doing the two wheel stunt before.
It reminds me of Beyonce's 'run the world' but this one is actually fun to watch and it probably was 1/20 of the production costs of Beyonce.
― Moka, Friday, 3 February 2012 18:48 (twelve years ago) link
genuinely surprised people love it. it looks like an advert to me

Also crosspost from the Madonna thread. MIA as a cheerleader... her contribution is pretty much null but she looks great.

Why would it be... it's visually impressive. When you talk about the video you say oh yeah it's the one that does the two wheel thing. And you get great stills like the frozen frame in the video.
