Christina Aguilera ft. M.I.A.

Don’t Give Me Slack
Wait! I see you running away in horror after reading this title, but trust me, it’s not as bad as you might think. To be honest it’s just like Kick Kick Snare said – it feels more like M.I.A. featuring Christina, not the other way round. But semantics aside, the Switch-produced ‘Elastic Love’ is a really good, catchy little song. M.I.A. puts on her trademark swirly, weird effects and the few times Christina features she’s barely recognisable. Plus their analogies shared between plastic tape, rubber bands and gaffer tape are cute.
Last night we held an impromptu Youtube party, reminiscing over great and not-so-great ’90s classics the likes of LFO, Blackstreet, Busta Rhymes, Mase and Destiny’s Child. Naturally Christina came up, so this comes at a perfect time. Who knows how it will age, but for now the kooky lyrics, vocal juxtaposition and spooky synths do the trick.
