I was quite suprised to see that no one had written anything about this great album?
From top to bottom one of the most complete and genre melding records in years. Breakbeats and hip hop and reggae and techno and even old school hardcore sounds and pounding bass and quixotic and masterful lyrics abound. And and and. Sampling The Clash and doing it well isn't easy and on 'Paper Planes' mia excels at that which isn't easy. Sampling Pixies lyrics and transposing them into something very different borders on genius and lets not even talk about the pounding badass bass drum of 'Boyz'.
Yes this is a pop record but there is no shame in that when it is done this well.
And another thing. This is that all so difficult second record. Mia lays waste to that concept casting aside all doubters and
helping reinfuse music with her life and energy. First class.
