M.I.A. has shared a clip on socials teasing her return to music, and it's only a few days until she reveals what it is.

The rapper and activist hasn't released new music since 2018's "Reload", which featured on the credits of her MATANGI / MAYA / M.I.A. documentary.

M.I.A. has teased her fans this afternoon by uploading a 20-second teaser of new music. She captioned the post, "NEW DECADE NEW MIA EXPLORING PLANETS AND PLATFORMS JOIN ME JAN 31ST 2020."

On her Instagram Story, she also posted another teaser hinting at new music, which reads "Coming soon to a platform near you. Tune in to the turning of the times."

Earlier this month, M.I.A. received an MBE from Prince William at Buckingham Palace, and was given a medal hand-stitched by her own mother.

She's yet to follow up her 2016 album A.I.M..

Check back on Friday (31 January) to see what M.I.A. releases.
