I feel as though she's getting more exposure now that M.I.A. is really starting to blow up in the states. Not saying that it's a bad thing.
I like "Les Artistes" all right.

I like her.

"Lights Out" and "I'm A Lady" are two of my favorites.

What do you think about her "selling out" and making a song for...oh, my memory fails me...McDonald's? Nike? I remember hearing about that on the radio during the summer.

It's just the radio.

agree.. i mean Julian C. and Pharrell did it too and i don't see it as really selling out. her music has been used for a few commercials out there. i think for cars & beer?
