Whether the new M.I.A. Born Free Music Video is a social commentary on humanity’s natural tendencies for violence and segregation .. or simply another stab at gingers, the video definitely demonstrates M.I.A.’s much darker side. Directed by French Romain Gavras, produced by a company called elnino.tv and just released 10 hours ago, I am sure that by the end of the day everyone will have their own opinion of it. While I did not enjoy the low quality mp3 of Born Free that has been circulating on the music blogosphere in the last couple of days… I completely love the video for its realism and intensity, although not even sure what it all really means. I do not want to say the video is “controversially pushy” but its definitely not what we are used to seeing from M.I.A.
