About this listen

This week on Songs On The Couch, we’re diving into Paper Planes by M.I.A. — a genre-bending global hit packed with political bite, satire, and the most iconic cash register sound in pop history. We explore how M.I.A. flipped hip-hop, punk, and world music into a protest anthem disguised as a pop banger — and why its message still hits hard today.
