Not here for MAYA 2.0. OK song but not something I could ever listen to on repeat and certainly not among her best singles.
Really disappointed on first listen :( hopefully it's a grower - after /\/\/\Y/\ was kinda average at best I'm not sure I'll bother buying this album....
Surely 'Bad Girls' alone justifies a listen / purchase? :o

Well I really quite enjoyed that, not underwhelming at all. Good "follow-up" to Bad Girls, not quite as good as that but that'd be hard obviously.

 

Hurry up and release the album already.

DERIVATIVE

 

here's hoping this is just a 'taster' and some 'fire' lies ahead...

For a second I was thinking 'god has it really been SIX YEARS since the last MIA album' and then I was OH

 

It's bizarre how much I used to be all over this woman back in oh seven and now she just leaves me QUITE COLD. THANKS FOR THAT /\/\/\Y/\

Kala really was ART though. Take out Mango Pickle Down River (cringeworthy as hell) and you've got pure MIA COMING BACK WITH POWAH POWAH

KALA RATE BECAUSE REMEMBERING BETTER TIMES WILL INEVITABLY BE BETTER THAN THIS

 

10 Bamboo Banga

08 BirdFlu (love a good dated lyrical reference *.*)

10 Boyz

10 Jimmy (god I need to shimmy to this in a homosexual establishment soon with SEVERE URGENCY)

07 Hussel

00 Mango Pickle Down River ('when i climb trees them feet do tickle' - BITCH FUCKING PLEASE! And KILL THOSE KIDS!)

11 20 Dollar (DISCO DISCO DISCO)

04 World Town (mosquitoes are NOT INSTRUMENTS)

08 The Turn

10 XR2

10 Paper Planes (I was sick as hell with this by the end of 2008, but having a break from this for about five years has helped it IMMEASURABLY in my affections.)

10 Come Around (SELL-OUT MOMENT *.* Although in fairness GAYLUV outdid this for sucking on capitalism's tits a good several times over, so this seems almost CREDIBLE in retrospect. Still, negative racial awareness marks to Timbaland for advising to go back to MIA's 'teepee'. TUT.)

Kala rate sure!

Near flawless. I always forget how good it actually is before I listen to it, not a dud track in sight (20 Dollar is a little weak but still fairly good).

THAT SAID I still maintain hope she's NOTORIOUSLY POOR at selecting lead singles
