A new message...

Long gone were the days in which music videos followed a simple basic formula, and that was music + performer singing alone + people dancing = happy ending/nice video. These days in order to get attention and to show attention to some of the issues we encounter on today's society, such as hunger, violence and discrimination, some artists appeal to short movies to express themselves. Recently M.I.A. and Erykah Badu have caught my attention with their latest video. (Please be advised that the following videos contain violence and nudity and are not recommended for minors.)
