M.I.A. says her new album is out in July, shares snippet of new music
M.I.A. has said that her new album is out in July in a new Q&A via livestreaming service Periscope.
Answering a question about the release date, the singer/producer said: "July. Summertime."
Apparently it has 12 tracks, including "MIA OLA", her Lion King-sampling track, although the samples were predicatably not cleared: "I had to take the Disney thing off. I put 'Galang' on it instead, I sampled myself. I wanted to say, 'Whatever, I can't getLion King, I'm gonna use my own song! That way no one can stop it."
She also spoke about working in the studio, Rihanna collaborations (or a lack thereof), Azealia Banks vs. Zayn ("I'm friends with both..."), and shared a snippet of a new track.
M.I.A. has intimated that this upcoming LP will be her last with her American label.
