I like this one more. but then, im a hardcore MIA fan. this song sounds more developed than the original by the weekend. It makes the original sound imcomplete. Plus i pefer mia's voice over the song than the weekends.
z thomas I’m a cabdriver and my last fare the other night, I was done and didn’t feel like being chatty, the fare was really tired and wanted to nap a little; I just played this album just not too loud - PERFECT!!!😎
This is fucking sick. Her best song yet. It has the chillest vibe to it. I just want to go night driving to it. Can't wait to fix my radio so I can jam to this
THIS SONG IS JUST SO CHILL ITS ALMOST FROZEN (ok that was lame!) but it IS EXTRAORDINARY MIA JUST LIGHTING UP THE MIC WITH PURE MELODY! A beautiful expression of her voice and fascinating lyrics! KEEP KILLING IT GIRL YOURE MY FAVORITE SINGLE ARTIST!❤️💃🏽🎤🥹😍👊😎
M.I.A. sounds really good. I like Santigold's music as well. Her songs, Disparate Youth, Creator, Fame, Anne, and The Keepers sound are some of my favorites.
it's a shame not more so called critics tackled how exodus-sexodus fits into her entire album and her own mythology. one way i see it (and this is only one way) is unlike other MIA albums, MATANGI follows a largely tho not completely linear storytelling trajectory. starting off with karmagedon+matangi: a roll call to get on the dancefloor as metaphor to get involved - engage in the world wherever we are, however we can. there's only 1 u. warriors in a dance. it's cool it takes 2 ima still fux w u come walk with me. attention. then we have EXodus. its sonics as are more sensual (compared 2 sexodus). different from mere sex, which in the western's conception, is largely viewed as lacking spiritual depth. a lot can be said about the sensuality of being unshakeable in one's beliefs especially when we connect to a larger group. revolution is not just violent, it requires an acknowledgment of people's humanity as whole and not as is usually perpetuated by western media. we are not broken and dehumanized. there's bad girls, boom skit, dbt, yala, bring the noize. all these songs are much more confrontational than the previous half. yet it gains its power from the earlier half where we have now been called to the floor to march to empire's gates. lights + know it aint right stands out as softer songs. it is a quick look at the introspection in the journey. could be seen as moments of weakness. but only if you see self-evaluation and vulnerability as weakness. when really it can be immense spiritual growth. then we get to SEXodus. which have harder beats the drums the helicopters. perhaps even more spare despite these harder sonics. it almost seems like salvation bt i dont think MIA is hopeful without being critical of the world we live in. i dont think there is any resolution. not when the world is nowhere near resolution. i almost feel like the physical aspect of resistance against empire 'ends' at bring the noize. cos there's where we're at too, in the world we live in. after which, the personal and spiritual comes back in main focus as a place of evaluation maybe even exhaustion ambivalence (but NOT apathy). so in the 'end' Sexodus is a critical hope and imagining of the resistance being fruitful. where fight and flight converges into a transcendence that doesn't necessarily prioritize the individual but entire communities of resistance. [[[[[YEAAA. also, if you grew up on bollywood films, you'd also know that a lot of the times, there will be one main song in a film, which takes on different forms throughout the film. the melodies words etc will b the same, bt the instrumentation changes according to the mood of the arch in the film. e.g. the same song can b joyful in one scene, yet take on a mood of despair in the other all while the content of the song remains the same.]]]]]
This is her BEST slow song ever. If this was put on top 40 radio it would be a hit I guarantee. for now: our little underground treasure! Shes made it to Superbowl half-time and Cobert so far...
+Patrick Talamantes um yes, the weeknd is singing the vocals in the background , the vocals come from Lonely star by The weeknd... Lol now listen to it it's pretty good from his older mixtape.
My absolute favourite from this album... maybe from the whole music scene on earth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFINBEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! M.I.A, your probably the most badass lady in the musicbizzz! Loveya!
This is real masterpiece, i m from russia and when i had transleted this i ve had the deepest insight, i delighted this song and message that it is have
Here we go another underrated legendary queen :/
Really!
Awww shit here we go again
She is just so consistent when it comes to being amazing

FACTS
As a white dude who grew up on Metallica and Guns N' Roses, I can definitively say that MIA has sucked me in. This song is fucking amazing.

sorry, this is not the song i was talking about actually, i perfer the other version called exodus instead of sexodus. . .
Mephallica i guess u came here for Exodus band haha
i love how you can hear a bit of lonely star in it, sick
Ηaunting and absolutely addictive...
Iliana Panagiotopoulou ...yea..thats the word for it..!!!
10 years to this masterpiece and here I’m listening it on loop
There's too much of the "YASSS QUEEN" being given to people who don't deserve it. If anyone embodies being a queen, it's M.I.A.
for anyone who may be wondering, the sample in this song is Lonely Star by The Weeknd
We are the lonely stars.
I wish Abel would collab with her
thank you so much i never understood why the weekend was tagged
Brilliant song. My favorite from her, actually.
same for me

i’m so glad she’s underrated but i feel bad cuz she deserves the recognition
mia makes beautiful music, not only wonderfully worded but hypnotically sensational. this is one of my favorite tracks from her ✌
Dynamo Babe ..
Its probably her biggest mistake not releasing this as a single with video. It's better than famous Paper Plans. Man..this is her best song
Can't beleive it took me this long to appreciate her music :B
Yes, this version is way better than Weeknd's... MIA rules! :)

This song is originally The Weeknd’s beat and song called lonely star
DAM I really liked this song, love at first site, i mean, love at first hear. Thanks MIA, i needed this today. ... ... .... .
The Weeknd was so great in 2013 that an established artist like MIA was sampling his music despite not getting major clout in the mainstream.
Why am I just now hearing this masterpiece
This girl is so awesome in all senses , talented , beautiful and actually inteligent
Lonely Star...Amen!

my fav lyrical track on the album....also love how the heli sample is worked in.
M.i.a. she is awake and knows what's going on she is one of me I love her so much

I knew this album was going to be the bomb
M.I.a ....this track on the bus ....earphones blasting. ..
I used to listen to this every morning on my bus ride in high school actually haha..... memories
M.I.A. sounds really good. I like Santigold's music as well. Her songs, Disparate Youth, Creator, Fame, Anne, and The Keepers sound are some of my favorites.
This b like one of my most favorites don't even know y just be

I have been searching for this song for like years and finally found it can't believe 😭😭😭
Why does this not have a million + views??? This song is fucking amazing.
you can share it via facebook and co, this way more people will get to hear and know her
Hell yeah that's what I'ma do!!!!!!
