The Other Side Of Lillith Fair...

Much attention has been given to Sarah McLachlan's resurrection of the Lillith Fair Festival, a travelling concert series designed to level out the gender playing field on the shed circuit. In that spirit, here's a quick tip of the hat to 2 equally idiosyncratic young ladies who are most definitely doing it their own way...

Don't let the smooth soul jam fool you, this could only be the work of Erykah Badu...the first clue is her ride...Inspired by Matt & Kim's 'Lessons Learned' video, she puts her own particular spin on the business...



M.I.A.'s clip for 'Born Free' is lensed by Romain Garvas, son of Constantin Costa-Garvas (European political thriller 'Z'), and the apple hasn't fallen far from the tree cinematically. M.I.A. soundtracks the clip with a chopped up riff from electro-punk godfathers Suicide (Ghost Rider). On the heels of her chart conquering 'Paper Planes', she shows no sign of backing down from her more adventurous side.
