New M.I.A. – Theres Space For Ol Dat I See

Tape Recorder — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 08:20:13 +0000

One of the most anticipated albums this year is M.I.A.´s mostly Blaqstarr produced LP (due out in the summer). On Monday she tweeted FUCK NEW YORK TIMES in response to a tasteless article calling Sri Lanka no 1 vacation destination of 2010 and posted graphic images of violence against the Tamil population. On Tuesday she tweeted Theres Space For Ol Dat I See – her new song and video! Its different-sounding compared to her last material and she´s singing.

UPDATE: the track is titled Space Odyssey and it´s produced by M.I.A. and dubstep producer Rusko.

Check out new M.I.A. – Theres Space For Ol Dat I See below:

Didn´t care so much about N.A.S.A.´s track Whachadoin?, but the remixes have changed my mind. Especially when M.I.A.´s role has been elevated. These two remixes have picked up the most buzz in the blogosphere, the Villains and DJ Chernobyl remix of Whachadoin?

Swagga Like Us – Pregnant M.I.A. Performs On Her Due Date at Grammys

Tape Recorder — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 15:30:12 +0000

M.I.A., Kanye West, Jay-Z, T.I. and Lil Wayne perform Swagga Like Us at the Grammy Awards yesterday night. M.I.A. is very pregnant (it´s her due date) and it´s absolute great to see her on stage with the biggest hip hop stars. You don´t usually see women like that with the rappers. I love M.I.A., her politics and her attitude. She´s so unique.
