MIA - Vicki Leekx

Review by Pedro Sostre

Vicki Leekx is an album by the British-Sri Lankan rapper MIA, released in 2010. The album is a mixtape-style compilation of songs that MIA had released in the previous year, as well as some new tracks. The album's title is a reference to the controversial WikiLeaks organization, and the album's cover features a composite image of MIA and WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.

The album is a departure from MIA's previous work, which was heavily influenced by dancehall and hip-hop. Vicki Leekx features a more experimental sound, with elements of dubstep, electronic music, and world music. The album's lyrics are also more politically charged than MIA's previous work, with songs addressing issues such as government corruption, media censorship, and the plight of refugees.

Summary by Pedro Sostre

Vicki Leekx is a bold and challenging album that showcases MIA's unique vision and uncompromising approach to music. While it may not be to everyone's taste, those who appreciate MIA's artistry and political activism will find much to admire in this provocative and thought-provoking work.
