After a nearly three-year hiatus, M.I.A. returns to music with her third album on her own N.E.E.T. Recordings imprint through Interscope. Following the format of previous albums named after her father (2005′s Arular) and mother (2007′s Kala), her upcoming album’s title is her first name and includes production from Blaqstarr, Diplo, Rusko and Switch. Fans can check it out before deciding to buy and also read the latest Billboard cover story in which M.I.A. offers more insight into the album. /\/\ /\ Y /\ hits stores July 13.
what tracks are you feelin’?
She talked shit about GaGa. F*ck her.
LOL at #2
i still <3 M.I.A!
Wow @ # 2 SMH
Huh!!!!!!!
I am not familiar with her music so is her other albums’ work like this album? Is her music all like this?
Please tell me I’m not the only one that tried to click the play button.
lol
OMG!
She’s really trying something new. I’m sure we’ll all get it in 3-5 years….until then, I’m going to see her in NYC on July 24th. I’m really excited to see Sleigh Bells, Rye Rye and hear Maya’s new material.
I fell in love at “The Message.” Did you hear that shit? “It Takes A Muscle” seems promising really reggae. “Meds and Feds” sounds like a head banger. “Tell Me Why” sounds like Nicki Minaj’s “Your Love” a little bit (that was snarky of me). I heard “Steppin Up” the other day on Pitchfork and hated it, but today I love it. I think that’s how this album is going to be; One day you hate it, and a few days later, you love it.
WTF is this BS? This girl has no damn talent. WTF does she even do? Her voice sounds like a dying mammal so I know she ain’t singing. She not that skilled lyrically to be a rapper. She talks and rambles and I never understand what the hell she be talking about. Apparently people thinks she is talented and the dummies that yall are go along with it because its the popular opinion. Sorry I won’t be a contributor to the murder of real music. On to the next one.
really like xxxo
really like xxxo
XXXO is the best!!!!!!
Next is MEDS AND FEDS
THE MESSAGE is also really nice
Yeah for someone to disrespect a person whose career has surpassed more than half the game today including theirs, (i.e Lady Gaga), they might want to have an OUNCE of talent that could be easily recognizable.
First off, this “cover” looks a boiled hot mess. I thought CL was having some technical difficulties as I scrolled down the page. It looks like a viral infection, No.
Second off, she bad mouthed someone she had no right to, not even in a suttle and subliminal way either. She shared her unwanted thoughts loud and proud and I do not support newcomers or “failed-comers” (in her case) attacking artist that can buy them 1000x over.
Third off, can anyone ever comprehend a word she says? Like seriously? All I hear is Native American bonfire chants.
Fourth off, this music is straight trash. Like I seriously cannot get through 30 seconds of any song.
Like M.I.A her music is differnt but it got swag to it
LMAOO AT THE PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY LISTEN TO THIS LOL I FEEL BAD BECAUSE YALL KNOW YALL DON’T KNOW WHAT SHE TALKING ABOUT NOR DO YALL THINK THE MUSIC IS GOOD. YALL JUST GO ALONG WITH IT BECAUSE SHE IS NOT MAINSTREAM AND SHE DIFFERENT AND YALL ASSUME THAT MEANS THE MUSIC IS OF QUALITY WHEN IT IS NOT. SOMETIMES THE MEDIA WILL FEED YOU TO THE GOOD WATER AND OTHER TIMES THE BAD WATER. WE ALL WANT TO GET AWAY FROM MAINSTREAM MUSIC SOMETIMES BUT YOU STILL GETTING FED BAD WATER. SHE IS NOT THE ONE TO BE PRAISING. SHE REALLY IS NOT.
People think they’re so smart, but really don’t know shit.
The problem with freedom of speech is everyone has it.
Compared to the bullshit rappers and singers put out today, M.I.A. is a fucking genius.
No one has the balls to try anything new. This bitch started the sound we’re all listening to today. The trends the girls are rocking today.
I love that (black) people don’t like her. Trendsetters need only apply.
I’m feeling
-Space
-lovealot
I’ll be getting it when it comes out
Love MIA! Can’t wait to cop this!
lmao @ the pressed ignorant Gaga fans.
Get some knowledge before you speak, M.I.A songs actually say something, she talks about war, 3rd world countries, starvation etc, she doesnt talk about disco sticks nor “roma ro ma ma” like someone we all know.
Critics always have nice things to say about M.I.A work but like everyone who does something different or has talent, she is underrated.
M.I.A doesnt give a fuck if she sells or not, she actually uses her art to express feelings and themes.
In 2009, Time magazine placed M.I.A. in the Time 100 list of “World’s Most Influential people” for having “global influence across many genres”
Anyway, this album sounds good and M.I.A never disappoints
ok first of all.. clear up all the gaga shit.. she’s not fucking original.. all her shit has been done b4 by madonna.. it sad that people get all crazy when they hear something bad about lady he-man, honestly get OVER IT!!!
M.i.A.. is boss right now.. whoever say she doesnt have swagg check your self..
she’s on a whole diff level then most artist will never accomplish in 2-5 years over… just like thom yorke!!
so honestly check twice b4 u say shit about an artist who actually know’s what she’s doing instead of being so commercially poppulated with biggots!!
FUCK FOLLOWERS!!
dont be a fucking SHEEP!! be YOURSELF..
sounds like something M.I.A is doing unlike gaga,rihanna,ke$ha taking credit from ideas that have been stirred into the pot b4..
so un-original!
I been loved M.I.A. and she did become a lil mainstream when the Paper planes song & remix came out. Just because ppl dont like the mainstream artists doesnt mean we are trying to be different. It actually means WE DON’T CARE WHAT OTHER PPL THINK & DON’T FOLLOW THE DAMN CROWD LIKE THE REST!!! M.I.A is so genius and CREATES ALL HER STUFF!!! I CALL THAT SOME MUTHAF’IN TALENT!!! on a side note, I love that her name is the same as mine ^_^ & i am going to buy the album! NOT LIKE ALL THIS FAKE ISH FROM OTHER ARTIST!!!
HORRIFIC
@CHECKYOSELF
“sounds like something M.I.A is doing unlike gaga,rihanna,ke$ha taking credit from ideas that have been stirred into the pot b4″..
And wtf do you think of this? I’m a fan of Gaga because she has talent. She plays the piano, writes her own music and sings so much better than M.I.A. Sure Gaga could sing about war, Third World countries but that has all been done before too by many artists like Bob Marley. You think M.I.A is as talented as Bob Marley? Do you think she is more talented than Gaga because then you’d be lying. This girl is horrible live and on cd. Have you peeped her live performances? Does she sing? Idk but it sounds horrible. Her most known single is about shooting somebody and taking they money so WTF. Hate on mainstream artists all you want but some of them actually have talent. I’m so sick of people writing Gaga off because she’s huge. A lot of unknown singers are talented but M.I.A is not. She’d be better off being a song writer since she’s such a great lyricist according to yall.
Gaga can auto-fellatio
@ 22 you are obviously one of those people who misses the WHOLE point of M.I.As songs …smh
