Last night, one of our love reporters went to see the dynamic U.K. performer known as M.I.A. Her music is contagious to the point that you will be so feverishly sweating from dancing that you don’t know what came over you! The aura of the show was high energy from start to finish. M.I.A danced amongst her fans, reached out to touch, had her fans come on stage, and manuevered her way from one end of the stage to another like the true performer she was. The connection with her fans & her music was so tangible! The goal of her music is to talk about life, social/political topics and cultural understandings while attempting to make something sound like nothing over carefully crafted & chanted lyrics that come out at times in a drawl or a screech! The powerful beats mask the often times powerful content by being playful and energetic in their sound.

The scene got a little crazy in the beginning as everyone wanted to be in the first few rows to be close to M.I.A but after a few initial push & shove matches, it was all love. Her beats are so hard-hitting that you leave one of her shows feeling like you were just transported outside by a UFO!
