M.I.A.’s much-anticipated fourth studio album, Matangi, is set for release tomorrow, November 5th. But you don’t have to wait another 24 hours to hear the new tracks–Matangi, in its entirety, is currently streaming on YouTube.
It’s everything you would expect from M.I.A.–heavy beats, witty rhymes, references to political movements you have to look up on Wikipedia later, and last but not least: a serious dose of bad-ass-ery. The album, which she describes as more “spiritual” than her past work, is already drawing in positive reviews from all sides.
But who cares what some old guy at SPIN thinks? Decide for yourself! Check out the opening track below, and the rest of the tracks HERE.
Thanks to M.I.A. / Vevo
