MIA has the ability to make us listen to her music without high-profile publicity and glossy product placements.

What’s more, M.I.A has blogged about her baby and – get this – it appears as if she actually quite likes him! Wow, that M.I.A, huh? No wonder she’s so blinking controversial. Whatever next!
