More sketch than song per sé, M.I.A. just went and posted up 27 (the inaugural entry on her Soundcloud page), a track recorded prior to her VICKI LEEKX mixtape that swivels on buoyant, if vaguely morbid lyrics of friends, associates, acquaintances and cronies that've expired at that very age. You've got to wonder numbers, besides whether Arulpragasam could feasibly conceive the recently sadly departed Winehouse a 'friend' (although all and sundry seem to be attempting to squeeze into the heart of a Venn diagram illustrating those with a Twitter account and those alleged to have enjoyed a similarly amiable rapport with the crooner), however the sparse rudimentary beats that underpin dubby vocals ideally offset tales of inebriation in English taverns.
