About This Site

Each month I select 20 songs (10 songs twice a month) that I am either hooked on or am curious about. Most of the music I select are rock, hip-hop, R&B and pop songs.

My song selection comes from 20-30 CDs I get from various sources each month, as well as recommendations from iTunes and Amazon. I also check out the charts in US, UK and Japan.

M.I.A. - Xxxo

Album: MAYA

After having a mega-hit with “Paper Planes” two years ago, she has been busy. She has given birth to her baby, worked on a song for Christina Aguilera’s new album, and recorded her third album, titled MAYA. Her multi-cultural background (growing up in Sri Lanka, India, England) shows in her music. The single, “Xxxo” is slightly more mainstream sounding than her past songs (she admits to it as well), but it stays in my head.
