"Xxxo" M.I.A.
This is one of my favorite (and most tame) tracks off M.I.A.'s new album MAYA. I heard "Born Free," and I was worried about the other songs, but the rest of the album rocks. It's a natural progression from Arular and Kala; the sound is tighter and more cohesive but still maintains M.I.A.'s fantastic monotone English prattle laid over digital beats, thumps, twinkles, and samples.
When to play it: "Da" club; dance party; medium-effort work out; pre-party cocktails with your skanky girlfriends.
How you'll feel: Cooler than you are.
Sidenote: Check out M.I.A's MySpace to listen to other tracks including my favorites, "Teqkilla," "Steppin Up" (featuring sweet power tool sounds) and "Space." If you buy the album (which I highly recommend), listen to "Internet Connection." How can you not love a song with the lyrics, "I'm down like my internet connection"?
