That’s not actually M.I.A., it’s just a picture I found when searching for her and thought that this one was better than the one I was going to go with.
In the wake of the death of Amy Winehouse at the age of 27 yesterday, it’s sparked yet more discussion on just what the fuck is up with famous musicians dying at age 27.
Jack White was almost added to the list when he was involved in a car crash on his 27th birthday, but thankfully he missed that dance with the reaper and we’re both better off for it. Amy, however, didn’t miss that dance and M.I.A. posted this song to her Soundcloud page called 27 that was written before she released her “Vicki Leekx” mixtapeon the first day of this year but just never got around to finishing it.
It’s quite apt that she had this and I suppose for her, what better time to release it than now? It’s a bit of a dubby track, more mellow than some of the tracks on her last album and on said mixtape, but check it out.
