Listen: M.I.A. - "Matangi" (Full LP Stream)

As seems to be the trend now days M.I.A. has shared a full album stream of her latest, Matangi, which is due out next Tuesday.  The LP features appearances by The Weeknd, and production from Switch, Illangelo, and Hit Boy. In my opinion LP #4 is still lacking some of the fun found in the first two records but isn't as trying as her last venture. The second half of the album works better for me that the first half, check it below…

Listen: - M.I.A. - "Y.A.L.A."

M.I.A.’s latest tunes have been hit or miss for me for the most part but I am most certainly still curious and interested to hear Matangi when it finally drops. “Y.A.L.A.,” a play on the popular term Y.O.L.O. acts as an acronym for “you always live again” and is our latest taste of Mantangi, it undeniably has a Diplo sound to it and that’s usually a good thing when talking about M.I.A.

Video: M.I.A. - "Bring The Noize"

After sharing an audio stream of M.I.A.’s latest taste of forthcoming LP Matangi last week via "Bring the Noize" comes the video. While the visuals aren’t as memorable as last year’s “Bad Girls” a pink haired M.I.A. delivers her message via a slamming beat. 

Listen: M.I.A. - "Bring The Noise"

M.I.A. has shared the first taste from new album Matangi in the form of "Bring the Noize." As you never quite know which M.I.A. is going to show up, I’m happy to report that this latest track ain’t half bad.  The pounding party production by Switch and Surkin keeps things light and fun, which for my money is when M.I.A. is at her best, opting to let the lyrics take on her more serious side. Look for a video on the 21st of the month. 

Listen: M.I.A. - "Matangi Mix"

Over the weekend M.I.A. shared a short “mix” she produced for the Kenzo fashion show in Paris featuring some new original music by the Sri Lankin.  It's called the MATANGI mix which of course is the also the name of her forthcoming LP that is scheduled to drop April 15^th but has already been delayed several times. This is everything good about M.IA., hard percussion, international flavor and more, fingers crossed that the mix is representative of the LP.
