Oliver Wang gave a discerning review of MIA's CD Arular on NPR's Morning Edition, sidestepping the political hype and keeping the spotlight firmly on her music. He's no slouch of a wordsmith either:
"Many music critics have played up her exoticness as she was the love child of Neneh Cherry and Che Guevara or the prodigal daughter of the third world returning home to soundbomb the empire"The radio clip [RealAudio], is only 4:34 long, and worth listening to. Tomorrow, Morning Edition will be interviewing "the man who helped to spark the MIA Buzz."
