Bang, Shoot, Blast

After branding Lady Gaga a 'mimic' and accusing her of imitating her own style, M.I.A. has served up an epic nine minute video of 'Telephone' proportions for her new single 'Born Free', albeit an entirely different kettle of fish.

There's not a product placement in sight, indeed Maya herself is nowhere to be seen, but the video delivers quite the sucker-punch nonetheless:



The video was directed by Romain Gavras, who Shane infoms me also directed Justice's video for 'Stress'. I've a sneaking suspicion this video may prove equally controversial...

M.I.A.'s third album is expected in July.

P.S.: Keep your eyes peeled for a not-so-subtle reference to the I.R.A.
