M.I.A. – XXXO
August 12th, 2010What’s up with the music videos today? The internet amateur style finally made it into a music video, thanks to Hype Williams & M.I.A. The video for XXXO is just pure bliss! It’s the music video of the year, hands down.
There’s just one bitter taste about it. I can’t watch the official video in Germany, M.I.A. even uses the official YouTube video on her homepage. Is 2010 still the year where licenses are local but music is global?

IMO she has contributed quite a lot to these kind of visuals getting growing and mainstream interest.
Her work as a graphic designer slash visual artist is fantastic.
She does most of her art work her self AFAIK.

You don’t usually encounter the words “brilliant” and “Hype Williams” in close proximity, but this is one of those exceptions.
