XXXO (Various Remix)                                          3:02Release Notes:M.I.A.æs XXXO is a delicious, concise cut of modern electro-pop.Clocking in at just under three minutes and in keeping with her secondalbum's sound (Jimmy) and her dancier beginnings (Arular), the songis easily one of the artistÆs most glittery pop productions yet.In fact, 'XXXO' is so accessibly electro-pop that it seems the releaseof her controversial rebel rant from a few weeks ago, 'Born Free,' wasprobably meant as a kind of warning shot before this song's release.As if to curtail the dreaded 'sell out!!!' comments she may have gottenfor releasing this song first, ôBorn Freeö kept the political punch ofM.I.A.Æs career coming back with power power, allowing this new song tosneak by with something far moreàwell, user friendly. (There are lyricsabout tweeting!) ItÆs just a shame the song doesnÆt last longer.I still don't know if XXXO could actually impact mainstream radio,but it's probably M.I.A.'s most likely candidate (aside from theentirely over-hyped Paper Planes) Then again, I'm not sure M.I.A.wants to be played on the radio.
