DJ Treats’ Weekly Treats: Lily Allen, Bloc Party & M.I.A.

M.I.A. “Shells”

from How Many Votes Fix Mix

To an artist, “retirement” is way different than a record label’s interpretation of the word. When artists like M.I.A. announce they’re taking a break from recording, the powers that be still want to make money off their product, even when they’re on “hiatus.” So while M.I.A. is off being M.O.M., Interscope dropped a three-track EP last week with a remix of “Boyz” featuring Jay-Z, “Far Far”, and a new call to arms anthem, “Shells.” Lick a shot.
