M.I.A. is the artist responsible for the song heard above. Paper Planes is a single of Maya Arulpragasam’s second album entitled Kala, which was released in 2007. It was not until the song began to get play during the Pineapple Express movie trailer that the whole country started to take notice of her. She has recorded and toured with greats like Gwen Stefani but has seen the most musical success when her singles are featured in advertisements or in this case and upcoming movie trailer. The official music video for the British artist whose parents are Sri-Lankan refugees is attached above.

I am sure when you hear the first few seconds of the music video you will immediately know what movie trailer I am talking about. Expect to see and hear much more from M.I.A. in the near future. Pod casts will definitely start giving her more play time. She has worked with producing great Timbaland but for the most part stayed out of the public eye. She has a growing fan base and many remixes of this song for those interested.
