Are You Born Free?

So while I was making my rounds online, I came across this video directed by Romain Gavras for M.I.A's newest single "Born Again". I love music videos like this and I absolutely LOVE what Gavras did with it. Such a strong/controversial message set against an equally powerful song. It's brilliant. I usually don't like videos that pause the music for "storyline" (e.g. more than a fair share of uninspiring hip hop videos...gag), but M.I.A's video does it so well that everything still flowed. Needless to say, it extended my break from combing through photos from a recent photoshoot to play it over and over again. Okay back to work. Enjoy!



"The French director created a nine minute-clip filled with explicit, violent, graphic, politically-charged images that come in accordance with the powerful single. M.I.A.’s still-untitled album is scheduled to drop June 29 via N.E.E.T./Interscope." - Via [Hypebeast]
