NEW TRACK “BAD GIRLS” AVAILABLE ON ITUNES
M.I.A. |
Today M.I.A.‘s video for her brand new track, “Bad Girls,” premieres exclusively on Noisey — Vice’s new music channel on YouTube.
The video was shot in Ouarzazate, Morocco, and is directed by Romain Gavras (M.I.A. “Born Free” and JUSTICE “Stress”).
Watch the video for “Bad Girls” below.
“It was dope to have so many people from so many different backgrounds speaking so many different languages come together to create something that we believed in,” says M.I.A about the video. “I thought I was gonna die on the shoot when I saw the drifting. It was a four day shoot so everyone was on edge the whole time specifically ME when I had to do bluesteel singing to the camera while the cars did doughnuts on the wet road ten feet away. In my mind I was thinking how I was gonna deliver the video to Vice with no legs.”
The track “Bad Girls” was released via all major digital retail outlets January 31.
