The 16-track mixtape was created and mixed earlier this month in Angel, London and, as a mailout from M.I.A. explains, has "a signature sound that purposefully spans time, geography, race, age, space. A limitless, genre-less, frequency. A true and fresh audio-bell vibration. A ding-a-linging in your ears."
"I present you a gift from the east, star of wonder star of night," M.I.A. writes. "Beauty. Bright. Sacred. Cosmic. Magnetism. A collaboration w/ god..."
