M.I.A "Jimmy"

I have had this track for quite some time but didn't post it as the sound quality was really bad. The track is from a live performance a couple of weeks ago. I went to the Sasquatch festival where she was scheduled to perform but sadly did not show up due to ovisa issues so I can not report first hand on the track. Thanks to my friend Juan I can now share a better quality version of this track. M.I.A has confirmed it's produced by Timbaland.



I'm hoping this isn't the final version or somehow the album version sounds better because this is awful in my opinion. It sounds like some filler track with Tim's name on it. That weird 80s techno dance beat, no cool sounds or noises, and the just plain boring monotony of the track makes me wonder what Tim really did with it. What surpirses me the most is from all those tracks we heard in the MIA/Timbo video she picks this one?

Guess we'll have to wait for the album version. Props to Juan! Opinions on the track?

  1. eh..i like it...i think the album version will bang, Tim's songs hardly ever translate to live performances well....

  2. this is mostly an old indian/bollywood song from late 80s or early 90s. and MIA is just singing over it...

  7. M.I.A. is not a live performer, and she's just straight up not a singer. I like her first CD, but f*****ck...
