MIA, Bring The Noize: video e testo

M.I.A. ha deciso di tamponare l’attesa dei fan che attendono sin dai rumors dell’estate scorsa l’uscita di Matangi, il nuovo album della cantante tamil naturalizzata britannica inizialmente previsto per Gennaio, slittato ad Aprile e non ancora rilasciato, ma confermato per l’autunno 2013: dopo l’interruzione della lunga pausa lavorativa con Bad Girls e la collaborazione con Madonna in Give Me All Your Luvin (incluse le polemiche per il dito medio al Superbowl), M.I.A. ha presentato il suo nuovo singolo, Bring The Noize, che anticipa l’uscita del disco.

Bring The Noize è uscito la settimana scorsa e oggi è arrivato finalmente anche il video, che vede M.I.A. in un’inedita veste quasi tranquilla. Abituati ai suoi precedenti lavori, provocatori e sfacciati, quasi stupisce vederla vestita di bianco aggirarsi semplicemente per un rave sotto terra, circondata da gente in bianco come lei, mentre la base martellante e il rap infuocato si intrecciano.

Molto simil Nicki Minaj la scelta del capello rosa e del trucco azzurro, un elemento pop che illumina il video di colori ancora più acidi e vivaci mentre la cantante rappa furiosamente, in netto contrasto con l’atmosfera festaiola e divertita del video. Ma si sa, a M.I.A. piacciono i contrasti netti e soprattutto le cose non le manda a dire.

I’m so tangy, people call me Mathangi
Goddess of word, bitches I’m a keep it banging
Truth is like a rotten tooth, you gotta spit it out!
Let the bottom two, let my wisdom work it out
Big on the underground, can’t knock me down
Vicki Leekx bitches, better buy it on demand
I sleep on my tongue and I sleep by two.
I can say lots with a little words or few like
Adam had ‘em yeh meed the madame
I’ll introduce you do the ????
Come let me go, do you like my perfume?
Made it at home with some gasoline and shrooms
Oil and water are two extremes
We like fucking carpets, you like fucking brooms
Why is your tattoo some ugly looking thing?
I got many designs they’re adding on Bing
My cousin got his DCS he’s decorating
He’s handy you might need him when I’m finishing what I’m saying
Just be frank you must damn understand!
I don’t care what you smell what you fucking drank
A lot to be pissed they’re mates, and we’re yanks
Cause it’s not me and you, it’s the fucking banks!

Bring the noise when we run upon them!
Bring the noise when we run upon them!
Bring the noise when we run upon them!
Bring the noise when we run upon them!

Dem-dem-dem-free-freekdom
Dem-dem-dem-free-freekdom
Free them, free them, free them, free them (freedom – freedom)

If it’s like a rotten tooth, you gotta spit it out *spits sound*
Let the bottom two, let my wisdom work it out
The world is ours, sending yours or the powers
Words I announce, hope you heard em like cows
A bikini body, worth a tally or a rich
Bitch, my swag rich, can’t touch this
So click, click, click, please get off my dick
Just ‘cause I’m it don’t make me thick
I’m a overweight, heavyweight, female Slick Rick
If you need the cheese then my shit cost stake
I got – a bug spray, bucket, stick
I got – tons of the fun stuff tons and tons of it

Bring the noise when we run upon them!
Bring the noise when we run upon them!
Bring the noise when we run upon them!
Bring the noise when we run upon them!
