First time I heard her music: Ahhh... now I remember. It was when she was on the Santogold V. Diplo mixtape with her cover of LL Cool J's "I Need Love". Her version was called "Love Song". I fell in love.
No, not because it was a long-time favorite song of mine she covered and actually did well on. It was because the song was transformed in her voice and the steady chant of Santogold's cyber-like-crooning "Got my mind made up...I'm a Lady". Or maybe its just because I *heart* everyone who is in M.I.A.'s entourage.
A few tracks: Might Like You Better...yes! Although very dirty and R-rated, this song is MY type of track. I think it's because all of these crazy stupid stalking-ass boys out here cause me to ignore other people's feelings sometimes. So, essentially, this track feeds my "I don't give a damn" mood. Shame On Me would get mad love in my car.

Hey. Go buy this.
Now...
Run.
Some of the parts of this is guaranteed to be in a future party mix of yours. This album is heavy with that kind of bad-ass-bitch bravado you saw in Death Proof or with Michelle Rodriguez in any Fast and The Furious movie she was in. Most definitely a work out mix star.
I Love You
My grade:
8.6/ 10.0
