    Whether she's singing it for her penniless sisters or her affluent self is impossible to tell. That's why they call her provocative. Also, um, controversial.

    In its brief onslaught of sneery fun, Vicki Leekx only occasionally reaches the dizzy pop heights of Arular and Kala. But it does give us an M.I.A. who, once again, seems to be having a blast doing what she's doing.

    This 36-minute mixtape, released for freebie download on New Year's Eve, proves that the industrial-noise diddling of M.I.A.'s 2010 album, Maya, was no fluke.

    This isn't a mixtape that you're going to be bumping in your crib for months to come, but it is one that is contextually very important to her career. It warrants at least one listen for that reason alone (plus it's 100% free.)

    Not a huge fan of R&B or Rap, but I found this remix to be really good. The whole thing flows nicely and it made me want to dance... This is the first thing Ive heard of MIA's, made me want to go get all her other stuff.… Expand

    This mixtape is really good. MIA is an amazing artist. If you love mia you would love this mixtape. I think everybody should download it. I like the way the songs sounds on the mixtape an amazing electro-dance mix. Look forward for more stuff similar to this from Mia.… Collapse

    This was released on New Years Eve 2010, NOT 2009. But anyway I really like this mix because it sort of moves away from the beautiful chaos/ruckus that was ///Y/ and she incorporated sounds from Kala. The only thing is I think there should've been more material, or at least some of the tracks should've been a bit longer.… Expand

    This mixtape can be divided in two parts: when you hear and say: "Wow, M.I.A. made a good work on this, it sounds perfect", and when you say: "This is boring." If this had just twenty minutes, maybe was better.… Expand
