For most of 2011, M.I.A. was pretty much, well, M.I.A. But now that she’s confirmed to perform with Madonna at this year’s Super Bowl, she’s coming out in full force. Produced by Danja (a close friend of Timbaland), “Bad Girls” is the first single from her fourth LP, due out this summer. The combination of a looped sitar sample and hypnotic repetition of the same few verses makes for the catchiest and most radio-friendly song from M.I.A. since “Paper Planes”. Half Bollywood stomp-along, half James Dean sneer, “Bad Girls” finds M.I.A. right where she left off after the tepid response to 2010′s /\/\ /\ Y /\ (MAYA) . Live fast, die young, and good luck getting this out of your head.
