New M.I.A video “Born Free”

M.I.A, Born Free from ROMAIN-GAVRAS on Vimeo.

You know how some female artist after they have a baby, sometimes change their demeanor and start writing children’s books, or designing vintage punk rock onesies? THIS IS THE OPPOSITE OF THAT.

UPDATE: Born Free will be on M.I.A’s third album hitting Tuesday, June 29th on N.E.E.T / XL / Interscope

I have always suspected that puppets behave this way when I’m not looking.
