M.I.A. - Arular
Before her debut album arrived, the London-based Sri Lankan singer, born Maya Arulpragasam, was already an underground sensation. Influenced by Canada’s electro-punk bad girl Peaches, M.I.A. has concocted a striking style that blends political messages with elements of Jamaican dancehall, American hip-hop, British grime and beyond. “Sunshowers,” which cites the PLO, has a hypnotic, Eastern vibe, while “Galang” is a bracing mix of street slang and abrasive rhythms. Oddly captivating.
