M.I.A. debuts new single and cover art “Born Free”

1

M.I.A. is not one for the faint-hearted. The singer has just released the sleeve to her song “Born Free.” The artwork features a picture of what looks like the extrajudicial murder of some Tamil people by Sri Lankan forces. Plus, an image of an unavailable website, maybe to insinuate blocked information or sites. A very striking cover, indeed. Now, we wish we can say the same thing about the song.
