Music for Perfect People

Last year we saw two official releases from the M.I.A. camp in the form of an LP and a mixtape. While her full-length /\/\/\Y/\ did not receive any sort of praise in the blogosphere, the 35-minute, Wikileaks inspired mixtape, ViCKi LEEKX, seems to have put the politically charged singer/songwriter back into the spotlight. Below, we have a video for Part 1 of the mixtape.

Don’t forget, you can still download ViCKi LEEKX here.

Check out M.I.A.‘s 35-minute, Wikileaks inspired mixtape, ViCKi LEEKX, which features some cuts that did not make it on to /\/\/\Y/\. As you can see in the photo above, the production on this mix was handled by Danjahands, Munchi, Diplo, Blaqstarr, Switch, Rusko, VIIXIIV, So Japan and M.I.A.

In addition to the mixtape, we have David Kennedy’s (aka Pearson Sound) refix of M.I.A.’s single “It Takes a Muscle.” On the track, “Kennedy disassembles the electro-tinged reggae of the original and constructs a completely new creature bred specifically for the dance floor.” [via]
