I saw Slumdog Millionaire today and it was as good as all the hype, which is nice as so often only disappointment occurs after expectations are set so high. I totally forgot that part of the reason I was excited to see this was because M.I.A helped out on the soundtrack. But I quickly remembered as the majestic intro to O...Saya boomed out during the opening minutes. It really is a beautiful song and not surprisingly M.I.A has been nominated for an Academy award for her collaboration with A.R. Rahman on the track. Prett-y Mass-ive I say.
Great film. Great music. With the mainstream success of Slumdog, getting the Golden Globe etc, this will probably open a whole new audience to the music of M.I.A. In fact a friend heard her called "Mia" on commercial radio the other day as the "great NEW song" Paper Planes was introduced. Meh, I could definitely deal with hearing that song for another year or so.
Slumdog Millionaire Soundtrack available at Amazon
