M.I.A. - Born Free

M.I.A. returns with a new tune that not only solidifies her identity as the biggest, boldest act going but along with a video that continues her political commentary to boot.

Born Free as a tune is superb and fills me with immense anticipation for her new material being released later in the year. The video for the song it was pulled from YouTube within hours on publication and will cause undoubted outrage amongst the small-minded and easily led Daily Mail readers amongst us. For others, they will take it for what it was intended - Beautiful, sadistic, visceral and poignant. Everything that M.I.A. stands for.

As a film within itself, it is fantastic. The music simply makes this video stand out as THE must see event of 2010.

This video contains nudity and graphic violence. You have been warned.
