Cactuar, you think so? To me it doesn't sound comercial at all. I can't see for example my family loving this as much as they loved XXXO.

I like Bad Girls, very much. But it's nothing new from M.I.A. - I have felt that her three albums have all had a unique sound but remaining her core. And if this single represents the style of the album, then my expectations about this album being a continuation of the experimental nature of MAYA, then I will probably be dissapointed.

I just hope she doesn't go release an album which she have already released. OK for an first single. But this could've been on any other of the last albums.

Galang > Bird Flu (did not know that this was the first single) > Bad Girls > Born Free

Oh... And I just bought the single from iTunes!

I love the single cover. Sassy!

Declare Independence rip-off. Like alxx wrote, it's good, but I too rarely listen to it.

I disagree, Born Free is an amazing and empowering track!

Just bought it off iTunes, she's licensed it directly to Interscope so she's no longer with XL

It really sounds like some song by a black rapper but sung by M.I.A.!

is anyone else getting Paper Planes success vibes with this one!!!

It's so effortlessly M.I.A. it's crazy!! This will be a hit! That chorus is another world! i love it!

by **alxx** » Fri Feb 03, 2012 11:09 am

I doubt it'll be a big hit but if XXXO can get to #26 in the UK without a music video then I reckon this should easily crack the top 20 at least. I'm almost glad she's left XL because Interscope seem to know what they're doing when it comes to marketing.

VIDEO

Video is amazing and looks EXPENSIVE!!!

by **alxx** » Fri Feb 03, 2012 2:14 pm

Video is brilliant! The thought of Interscope giving her money to make that though really does shock me

by **Benjamin** » Fri Feb 03, 2012 2:31 pm

AMAZING.
