Here’s a great article from the L.A. times about the artistic process M.I.A. went through making the soundtrack with renowned Bollywood composer A.R. Rahman for Danny Boyle’s sublime Slumdog Millionaire. Even if you don’t like her music, you have to respect that blur of originality that she practically oozes without trying. Remember in high school, there were a bunch of hipsters trying too hard and one kid who seemed to come out of the womb just supremely different in a cool way? Guess which one M.I.A. was. My favorite quote from the expectant mother:
“This kid is going to be interesting. I think it’s going to rebel against me and end up being an accountant. I’m going to be like, ‘Why aren’t you [expletive]-upped more?'”
