first, be prepared for a bunch of people to fawn all over this song.

it isn't good.

write m.i.a. off for what she is now: uninteresting, trading on controversy, and thoughtless in music and politic.

there was a time when the first of those three wasn't true. that is over.

but she might get a critical pass because of what people thought she was or was going to be.

and, to be fair, she had a couple of exceptional moments.

honestly, if "XXXO", sounding exactly as it does, came out of [insert name of disposable female pop singer] rather than m.i.a. you would dismiss it out of hand.

be honest.

now, today's track.

which doesn't suck.

enjoy some solid pop music from 2001.
