Flying in from a playground near you is M.I.A.’s latest outing, ‘Paper Planes’. The children’s choir gives the chorus a ‘Hard Knock Life Feel’ and by sampling The Clash, she is in good company. The unmistakable sounds of gunshots and ringing cash registers (courtesy of Switch on production) give the track a novelty feel that Neutrino himself would be proud of. ‘I got more records than the KGB’ she boasts - she’s also got more remixers. Skip the original and head straight to Scottie B’s offering. The gunshots are accelerated and the BPM sped and slowed at will, teeing up some political-heavy battle horns. Megaphones at the ready! 

Released 03/03/08 on XL.
