The music and artwork by the artist M.I.A.
could be divided into to main aspects.
Her fun and positive rhytms and colours
and the aggressive lyrics and themes.

„Nobody wants to be dancing to political songs.
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.“ - M.I.A.

One gummi bear tastes good, a few of them look funny
and a lot of them, placed side by side are coulourful
but look a little threatening at the same time.

The cd design is based on Indian package design.
The outside symbolizes the colourful but peaceful
rhytms which are hiding in the inner case. This one
is a lot more aggresive. The booklet contains a lot
of experimental designs.
