Polemic Videos by Romain Gavras

British singer M.I.A. enlisted the talents of Romain Gavras for the video of her comeback-single “Born Again”. The French director created a nine minute-clip filled with explicit, violent, graphic, politically-charged images that come in accordance with the dub-heavy single. M.I.A.’s still-untitled album is scheduled to drop June 29 via N.E.E.T./Interscope.
