Okay I rarely do music news rather reviews, but when you finally get to hear a new track from the decades greatest artist you have to spread the good word right?
Well credit to Pitchfork media (and the million blogs they blantantly stole the news from) for this story;
Anyway M.I.A is back at last! Yes that wonderfully creative, incredibly stylish, musical genius who I awarded my album of the decade award to, for her ground breaking work Kala, has returned at last. So while we're not sure exactly when the new album is due, I'm sure she's busy with her baby, we've had little snipet here and snipets there and guess what? Yes you got it we're got another snippet.
So after the genius of the African party stomp of Sound Of Kuduro she's back to more serious themes as she helps out on the latest Major Lazer mixtape. Her rhymes and swagger are as tight as ever as she talks about child care around the world, I can imagine this a subject close to her heart at the moment;
"Look At All The Babies growing up in the muck, Looking up at the fucked up men like yuck, I say where's the dady?"
"I ain't gonna raise my son like that, cause this is a woman's world and he knows that"
As you can probably tell men get it firmly in the neck on this record, it's a brilliant contribution and I hope this kind of thinking continues over to her next album. It looks like the baby that was in her belly has been replaced by fire and we can expected a passionate and vital comeback from M.I.A if this is anything to judge by.
Outside of M.I.A's verse this 40 minute mixtape is a glorious culture clash, some tracks work better than others but you won't regret sticking this in our head phones. The new revolution in world music is finally taking hold. Considering the weak singles I reviewed early this week, this mixtape is my first ever Single of The Week. Best of all it's totally FREE.
