Okay, whoever gets this is deemed the OB music king for the week, because you're a badass.

I saw a preview for a radio station at the movies the other day and they played this song, and I can't remember what's its called. Here's the tough part: it was a woman singing, it was kind of a jazzy but catchy song and the band name was just like two or three uppercase letters... like MA or something like that (no, it wasn't MIA).

This is driving me nuts. Somebody figure this out.

M.I.A

Mathangi "Maya" Arulpragasam (born 17 July 1977) [1] better known by her stage name M.I.A., is a British songwriter, record producer, vocalist and visual artist. She is a Tamilian of Sri Lankan descent.
Her work in music often encompasses several kinds of genres she has expressed interest in, with lyrics that voice politics, social realism and humour. Her artwork and clothes similarly feature varying topics and colour schemes.
An accomplished visual artist by 2002, M.I.A. came to prominence in early 2004 through file-sharing of her singles "Galang" and "Sunshowers" on the Internet.[2] In 2005, her debut album, Arular, was nominated for the Mercury Prize. Her second album, Kala, was released in 2007.

I know you said it wasnt her but that all i could come up with ....

Can you go to the radio station's website and look at their playlist?
