M.I.A. // Bad Girls

M.I.A. premiered the final version of her new single ‘Bad Girls’ today, a song which was originally available on her 2010 ‘Vicki Leekx’ mixtape.

I wasn’t sold on the demo version, which had great potential but was let down by rough and slightly tinny production. That’s all been fixed in the new version, as the track sounds full when you blast it up through your speakers. Danja’s done his job on this one. The Arabian influenced hip-hop beat goes hard - it’s great to see Maya’s voice over such a heavy urban instrumental beat once again.

M.I.A.’s verses are killer on this one. Add to that the fact that this song is catchier than chlamydia and she’s gotta be doing something right. By the end of the track you’ll no doubt be chanting “live fast, die young, bad girls do it well” and “my chain hits my chest as I’m banging on the radio”. That’s how it should be.
