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."
New TracksCommentAlways-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.
SebastiAn- Total
Reviews13 Comments
On Total, French electro producer SebastiAn churns out one banger after another that sound like they came straight off of some kind of assembly line. Rather than forge a sound or style the separates this music from its influences, the tracks here seem content to tailor themselves to every stereotypical specification necessary to be an electro song. While I could see this going down well in a club, it's not my drug of choice when it comes to dance music.
If you're digging this LP, find it on Ed Banger.
