I'm a bit late jumping on this bandwagon... But you guys have seen the Ginger Genocide via the new M.I.A. music video, right? Well, if you haven't, do it like I did... Listen to the track "Born Free" first, and tell me what you imagine its music video would be like.
M.I.A. - Born Free
For me, listening to it makes me feel like a young hippie passionately protesting... something. But at the same time, it actually reminds me of a song that is used in the opening scene of the movie Ghost World. All-in-all I think it's a great come-back-track for the was-preggers-scene-maker. She's letting us know that she can still rock the scene without conforming to her previous sound. (Especially Paper Planes, yuck. Reminds me of exploiting poor Indian kids.)
And then, you get this music video directed by the disturbed Romain Gavras (previously known for his controversial "Stress" video for Justice)... and you're like whoa. I mean he even stepped it up from "Stress"! I know there's been this whole making fun of Gingers thing... case 1, 2, and 3. But, I mean, Gavras, this takes it to a new level. Anyway, enough anticipation... not for the faint of heart... here is the video:
