M.I.A. - Matangi

On M.I.A.'s latest record, the UK-based rapper, singer, and producer takes a small step away from the noisy production that made her last record so bombastic, but still manages to deliver a series of smart, infectious, and wild banger-style party tracks.

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

Always-controversial singer-songwriter M.I.A. is finally gearing up to release her new record, Matangi, this November. As such, she has let loose the official audio of her new track "Y.A.L.A."--which is an acronym for "You Always Live Again." I, for one, was a bigger fan of /\/\ /\ Y /\ than mostly everyone else (including Anthony), but this sleeker, more direct approach suits her very well on this infectious new single.

Matangi is out November 5 via Interscope.
