M.I.A. Working On New Album

According to Pedestrian, M.I.A. is busy at work on her follow-up to Kala, the album that won her worldwide critical accolades and shot her to stardom. Word has it, Diplo and Switch return to the helm, along with additional undisclosed producers. Diplo recently spoke out about the new effort. "Been in the studio with M.I.A. working on her new record. It's like Gucci Mane meets Animal Collective. I think there are a couple of people [producing] but we're going to finish it off, me and Switch. We've done like four tracks already."

I'm in.

M.I.A. - 'Boyz'

Despite reading this disappointed fan's opinion, I think M.I.A.'s brand new video/single 'Boyz' is the hottest shit I've heard in a while. There's something so smooth and easy about this track it simply demands that you start shakin' it.

"Kala", the follow-up to 2005's "Arular" officially drops on August 21 and features production by such novelties as TIMBALAND, DIPLO and my new personal fave SWITCH. The tracklist will also include the previously leaked tracks 'Bird Flu' and 'XR2'.
