A while back I went to Colette to pick up a copy of Paper Magazine and they were playing the MAYA album. I went back home and bought it on ITunes – its one of the best albums I’ve bought this year.

I love XXXO ( the remix with Jay Z is a club banger), “Steppin Up” and “It takes a muscle” (on a simple reggae beat)  are some of my favorites from the album that manages to dish out both music you can dance to or just vibe to.

If you’re already a fan this album won’t disappoints as you can still feel the pain, joy and creativity in her music. If you’re new to MIA you’ll probably only like 40% of the album because the other 60% is unlike anything else out there right now on the mainstream airwaves.

On a different note I’ve always admired her daring, playful yet rugged sense of style.

Here’s a shot that I love of MIA in her Timberlands and those shades are from SUPER I believe – love the styling for the cover of Nylon Magazine!
