[Music Video] M.I.A. – Bad Girls

Following the ‘controversy’ with former hipster ‘It girl’ and ‘activist’ MC, M.I.A. occasional guest blogger here at The Kitchen, Brendan Philip weighs in on her new video that dropped just days before The Big Game….

Overall I love this song, the fusion of what sounds like traditional Indian music with hip-hop/dancehall percussion is just genius. But for me this is the combination of the song AND the video that really sells it for me! I was pleased with her first collaboration with director, Romain Gavras (“Born Free”) and although this new one doesn’t follow a storyline of that magnitude, it still has strong imagery. The most important part of the imagery is the depiction of women driving cars (on two wheels no less) throughout the clip as a middle finger to the Saudi Arabian law that prohibits women from driving by themselves or driving in cars without men. ENJOY….
