MIA - Jimmy Song Review

Revamping the bollywood disco romp and lil' Mathangi favorite "Jimmy Jimmy Aaja" into her usual strange art-pop style, MIA's "Jimmy" has been such a highly anticipated track off the Kala album that finally hearing it is a bit of a letdown.

M.I.A. explained that "Jimmy Jimmy Aaja" was a track she used to dance to when she was a child. "My mum used to hire me out when I was a kid as a party buffer. It was my track that I used to do my routine to. I had a little tape recorder, and a cloak and a cardboard cut out guitar, and that was my joint." Describing the recording and writing processes, she revealed that she had already recorded the strings and other parts of the song in India, but initially didn't attempt to do "Jimmy" when she was with co-producer Switch, explaining "I had to be drunk enough to be that disco. It all came together that week." Arulpragasam wrote the song about an invitation she received from a journalist while working in Liberia, to meet him whilst covering a genocide tour.

The music video features M.I.A. dancing with 11 dancers in yellow in an Indian fashion. Occasionally the video cuts to show M.I.A. dancing by herself in more Western clothing against a white backdrop. Directed by Nezar Khamal.
