MIA un-retires to the sound of cheers all over the world
<< Back
Ha. We knew it. Aug 29, 2008 at 12:49
When M.I.A. announced that her show at Boonaroo was her last and that she was giving up on the music, a little piece of our hearts died. But deep down, we kind of didn't believe her, and now thanks to Pineapple Express advertisements using 'Paper Planes' she's coming out of retirement.

We didn't even have time to miss her. Thank God.

M.I.A. said, "Well, [Bonaroo] it was my last ever show. And it still is. I stopped touring after that and I didn’t want to make music again. I was quite happy to just leave it all behind. I was happy with what I had achieved. Now, with the success of 'Paper Planes' there’s pull for me to make another record. Even my mum believes in me more [laughs]. It’s a nice encouragement. But I was planning my life as a fishing woman on the outskirts of Cambodia. That’s a joke."

Three cheers for sunshine and M.I.A.

She's got the mean hook on the new track "Swagger Like Us" that has Kanye, Jay Z, Lil Wayne and T.I (but doesn't get credited at all which sucks.) T.I has the best rap on the song http://search.playlist.com/tracks/swagger%20like
