In the newest issue of NME, M.I.A. reveals her decision to turn down the Twilight soundtrack, as well as her thoughts on Lady Gaga."They asked me, luckily Jimmy (Iovine, head of M.I.A.'s label Interscope) had beef with the Twilight people, so he stepped in and told them to fuck off."
It makes sense really. M.I.A. only deals with pot movies (her breakthrough single "Paper Planes" was featured in 2008's Pineapple Express)
The new age pop icon also had some words in regard to Lady Gaga. "People say we're similar, that we both mix all these things in the pot and spit them out differently, but she spits it out exactly the same. None of her music's reflective of how weird she wants to be or thinks she is. She models herself on Grace Jones (Jefferson Airplane) and Madonna, but the music sounds like 20-year-old Ibiza disco, you know? She's not progressive, but she's a good mimic. She sounds more like me than I fucking do!"
M.I.A. is currently in the studio putting the finishing touches on her latest album due in June. Here the first leaked single "There's Space For Ol Dat I See" below.
