Sri Lanken star M.I.A is at it again. YAAAY !! Just releasing the first track of her upcoming album - of which she won't share the title, 'Born Free'. She's in trouble. Nothing major, just the net being silly by banding her video that has been deemed controversial from the worlds favorite video hub, YouTube. TUT TUT TUT !! The video is visually explicit and is most definitely not for the faint hearted and those who don't own a open mind. It is very reminiscent of the Auschwitz concentration camps, only this time the victims are youths with ginger hair, and the perpetrators are American soldiers who are horribly abusive. The lyrics are very simple, with her just talking about being getting high, feeling low and most importantly being born free. However as the video is such a powerful piece and 9 minutes at that, you end up blocking out the lyrics and all concentration goes towards the action in what I call a mini-movie. I really don't want to spoil it for you by telling you anymore !! Enjoy !! REMEMBER KEEP AN OPEN MIND !!
CONTROVERSIAL BUT PURE GENIUS !!
