The lady gangsta fantasy of M.I.A.’s video for ‘Bad Girls’
Nowadays M.I.A., aka Maya Arulpragasam, debuted her video for new single “Bad Girls,” working yet again with “Born Free” co-conspirator Romain Gavras. Filmed in Ouarzazate, Morocco, the country’s film capital also seen in “Lawrence of Arabia,” “The Last Temptation of Christ,” “Gladiator” and many other Western motion pictures, the video is meant to evoke a Persian Gulf landscape – dusty, baked, semi-apocalpytic and in the hands of M.I.A. and Gavras, utterly challenging-core.
Set to M.I.A.’s Punjabi-laced chill-banger, “Bad Girls” is a lady gangsta fantasy but one particular that plays off quite true substances from lifestyle in the Middle East. There is crumbled architecture, sustained over many years of attack smouldering oil tankards young males in kaffiyeh, standing around dangerously bored mysterious women covered from head to toe, with only their kohl-lined eyes flashing out. Most of us Americans have noticed that existence only in bits of CNN video, left to venture our very own conclusions about their day-to-day grind.

Bummer, little monsters! In spite of reports of ‘Heavy Metal Lover’ as Lady Gaga’s up coming single, an exec from her label, Interscope Records, nixed the rumors and then some.
In the ‘Ask Billboard‘ characteristic, a Gaga fan wrote in suggesting that her track ‘Scheiße’ must be released as a single. Nonetheless, not only will ‘Scheiße’ not be released as a single, but neither will any of the other remaining tracks. The label executive informed Billboard that he is “not conscious of any latest plans for another single from the album.” Taking into consideration that these kinds of decisions are generally created way in advance, it doesn’t bode effectively for followers of that song nor of ‘Heavy Metal Lover.’
The news follows sluggish sales of her most current single, ‘Marry the Night.’ Although her earlier ‘Born This Way’ tracks have loved top rated 10 good results (the title track hit No. one, ‘Judas’ No. 10, ‘Edge of Glory’ No. 3 and ‘You and I’ No. 6), ‘Marry’ peaked at No. 29 on the Hot 100. Final week, it was stuck at No. 53, whilst this week is slid even further down to No. 65. It is the initial Gaga single (out of a whopping 11!) not to break the top 10 — even after she slashed get rates on the song.
A French music website at first reported that ‘Heavy Metal Lover’ would be released as Gaga’s sixth single, but it seems these rumors were false — however it is possible that ‘Lover’ will be released as a single abroad. Perhaps time will inform!
But do not be concerned, minor monsters. Your mother promised a new album in 2012, so it will not be extended till she graces our airwaves again. Paws up!
