    Recommend me some tunes similar to MIA

    Lately all the rage music is wearing on me. I still love power metal, thrash, and crust, but I need some chill happy tunes in the mix. I've found myself listening to shitloads of MIA lately. I smoke a fatty, throw her 'Kala' album on repeat, and goto work. It's nice and chill, I like it, good stuff. Anyone recommend something with a similar vibe?

    got a good kick out of this random review of her I found:

    "I think this is the worst song i've ever heard, EVER. Number one you can't understand a word of what she is saying which now that i have read the lyrics is actually not a bad thing. for all of you that try and make sense out of this nonsense and say its about selling drugs and growing up in that gangsta life that is just crazy. Its sad that music has evolved into this garbage. for all those who buy this garbage and reward this kind of "talent" are only adding to the demise of what song writing and music is all about. again this is crap"

      realistically though, I think the lyrics are pretty clever because they go over the heads of most people that hear them, to me it is obvious it is making light of the stereotype of illegal immigrants that the conservatives in the u.s. are all up in arms about

        when I listen to rap I prefer it a little on the angered sounding side:

          ok, you asked for a "chill" recommendation, this song is very trippy and mellow

              that's pretty funny. i guess i can understand what he's saying about the lyrics coming across as jibberish, but i would far from call it crap. i really like the vibe the whole album's got going on. i can pretty much listen to it straight through. i think she's one talented little chicky myself, i like her voice, and am feelin her style for sure.

                  I'm agreeing with you

                  she is infectious... I feel like I am getting under her spell, starting to think she is the hottest thing I've seen in a long time... fuck

                  the voice, the accent, the moves, the intoxicating beauty of her exotic looks

                          I've been digging the new album by Passion Pit



                          Make sure to check out their earlier album "Chunk of Change" as well.

I've found myself listening to shitloads of MIA lately. I smoke a fatty, throw her 'Kala' album on repeat, and goto work. It's nice and chill, I like it, good stuff. Anyone recommend something with a similar vibe?
                                            Santigold. Much better IMHO.

                                                  Damn, only one real answer in this thread up til now?

                                                  I agree with Shoplifter, Santogold is definitely better.

                                                  Check out Major Lazer's Hold The Line for similar sounds. It was produced by 2 of MIA's frequent producers.

                                                    Nice, I like it. I'll have to look into who produces her stuff, because it's the sound to her songs I really enjoy. Shit flows well with you when you're smoked up...

                                                      MIA very nice indeed. I think early on she got lots of encouragement and support from Peaches.

                                                              Look for Diplo, Switch, Freqnasty and Blaqstarr.

                                                              Oh, DJ A-Trak as well. Diplo is the king of the genre though. Search for him first.

                                                              The Baltimore B-House sound might interest you also.

Every bit of music out there that?s making it into the mainstream is really about nothing. I wanted to see if I could write songs about something important and make it sound like nothing. And it kind of worked."
