M.I.A.-XXXO, The First Single From /\/\/\Y/\


There’s been a radio rip floating around for days, but this is a much better quality version, hence the delay. I was meant to post this last night though. Woops!

Turns out Born Free is just a hype single. This track is COMPLETELY different from that too: whilst Born Free was a rock-heavy effort, this is probably M.I.A.’s most pop/mainstream sounding track to date. It’s a fantastic sound for her too, as she retains that creativity and originality that she possesses but infuses it with an accessible sound that will win over many, many people.

I love this track to bits: the hook is catchy, the beat is like a mixture between electro and Kanye West’s 808s-style, and it works fantastically for her. And yes, /\/\/\Y/\ is the title of her new album. Blur your eyes, it spells Maya (her name, in case you’re stupid).
