For those who don't her:
"M.I.A., real name: Mathangi "Maya" Arulpragasam, (born 1977 in Hounslow, London, U.K.) is a Sri Lanka-raised singer and artist. Her style has been described as a mixture of hip hop, ragga, dancehall, electro and punk
Arular is M.I.A.'s highly anticipated debut album. The album is titled after her father's political code name used during the Tamil independence movements. After months of delays due to sample issues, "Arular" was finally released on March 22, 2005 in America to universal critical acclaim. Almost a month later, "Arular" was released in the UK with two new tracks.
A few tracks from M.I.A's next album are going to be produced by the legendary Timbaland".

I love her music. It's both intensely urban and aggressively modern. She is one of those singers that lives up to the hype and met my sky-high expectations.
Any fans here???
