'La Ninja' is the remix record from MIA DOI TODD's 'Manzanita' sessions, featuring remixes by DNTEL, NOBODY, DUNGEN, CHESSIE, AMMONCONTACT, REMINDER, FLYING LOTUS and ADVENTURE TIME + 4 new songs, including her version of "Norwegian Wood". Encompassing a diverse array of artists, from indie rock and psychedelia to soul and hip-hop, 'La Ninja' is a showcase for a talent that the L.A. TIMES calls "both timeless and fresh." Nobody's remix of "What if We Do?" starts things off with a Bollywood-inspired setting. Another of the album's highlights comes from DNTEL, whose take on "Deep At Sea" is yet another high point on his long list of stellar remixes. "My Room is White" gets tackled in three very different ways here. Dungen provide a psychedelic rumination, all rumbling toms and trippy flutes, Reminder contributes a glitchy, minimalist excursion, emphasizing MIA's gorgeous lyrics and vocals. The last take by Flying Lotus is perhaps the most complete reinvention of the original. As an added bonus, Mia has contributed three new original songs to 'La Ninja'. "Amor" is a compelling ballad embellished by Adventure Time's lush orchestral maneuvers. The solo acoustic "Kokoro" with its almost Brazilian rhythm and the ragainspired instrumental "Shikibu" show Mia heading in new musical directions. Another track, a cover of "Norwegian Wood," demonstrates how a great artist can make a classic her own-a difficult task when attempting THE BEATLES.
