When M.I.A.
announced that her show at Boonaroo was her last and that she was giving up on the music, a little piece of our hearts died. But deep down, we kind of didn't believe her, and now thanks to
Pineapple Express advertisements using
'Paper Planes' she's coming out of retirement.
We didn't even have time to miss her. Thank God.
M.I.A. said, "Well, [Bonaroo] it was my last ever show. And it still is. I stopped touring after that and I didn’t want to make music again. I was quite happy to just leave it all behind. I was happy with what I had achieved. Now, with the success of 'Paper Planes' there’s pull for me to make another record. Even my mum believes in me more [laughs]. It’s a nice encouragement. But I was planning my life as a fishing woman on the outskirts of Cambodia. That’s a joke."
Three cheers for sunshine and
M.I.A.
