M.I.A.
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".
(credits: wikipedia)

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???

She's pretty cool. Arular was quite nice. I heard the 2004 bootleg album she released was even better, but I haven't heard it yet. I must say though, I don't really get the hype.

I didn't even know that, haha. Anyway, Antony & The Johnsons won over her, and deserved so, too. I Am A Bird Now is a masterpiece.

How could I have missed this. (*.*) All it took was one video on MTV TRL and a full news splash on the Newspaper and now I just pre-ordered Arular from a nearby shop. I love Galang! Bpulse, upload! 1 or 2 tracks would be nice! Err.. i know her dad died in some war or fight, but what made him killed? Was it intentional?

edit: Wikipedia is amazing no need to explain.. ^^

Quote:
She also chose them because it was the closest to her house, telling the label, "Trust me, you've been looking for me", before dropping off the "Galang" tape. They called her back 20 minutes later.
This is dead cool.
