*The One With Buzz: M.I.A. and A.R. Rahman's "O ... Saya." *

Early in Danny Boyle's "Slumdog Millionaire," "O ... Saya" sets the tone,
its kinetic rhythms giving way to a more traditional Eastern chant – a chant
that soon becomes digitally enhanced. Random urban noises become part of the
music, and electronic effects skitter around the beats. When the vocals from
M.I.A. arrive, she sings soft and fast – the sound of someone on the run,
but not wanting to attract too much attention. "A.R. was the most
established, amazing producer," M.I.A. says of the collaboration. "He works
with 100-people orchestras, and his sound is huge."
