M.I.A. - MAYA,

The album has leaked and after 3 listens earlier today I'd say it's bangin and contains several hits (if you wanna look at it like that).

All in all looking like a much better album than I expected, as I really dig the glitches and lo-fi-ish production on it (juding from available quality).

Tracklist

01. The Message

02. Steppin’ Up

03. XXXO

04. Teqkilla

05. Lovalot

06. Story Told

07. It Takes a Muscle

08. It Iz What It Iz

09. Born Free

10. Feds and Feds

11. Tell Me Why

12. Space

Indeed , my sons

kid come out ok? - at one point she said she wanted to have the child on stage while she was preforming

mia's alright - i'm not a big fan

the leak is a webrip i believe... will wait for higher quality but chuffed to see a leak at all

I really liked XXXO and Born Free, so I'm confident this will be a fun record.

shitty to see it leaked. strangely one of my friends had this record a few weeks ago...played it for us but couldnt share... i thought it was pretty cool...excellent production. way beyond anything by lady gaga

Met her in Sydney back in 07, seemed really shy and quiet, it was weird.

I'm pretty obsessed with Arula but I haven't really gotten into anything off this one yet. I might wait until there's a good quality rip floating around before I have a listen. I'm sure there's a few killer tracks on there. I wasn't immensely keen on Kala but there were definitely some winners on board.

I'm really hoping to go to see her mid august in gothenburg, as I missed out on her last visit in sweden back in 2008 when she had to cancel much of the tour because she was ill. This album just might top Kala. "A story to be told" followed by "it takes a muscle" is simply pure summer energy at the moment.

When you see her live, go in expecting it to be not so good so if she turns out to be good you will be happy!

I was so hyped to see her and I was pretty underwhelmed to be honest... Just her, a DJ and backup vocalist, it sounded tiny

I shoulda gone n watched Justice (they were on at the same time)

I hate her, but Switch and Diplo are solid producers and the bulk of the album. It's only a M.I.A. track once she does that pseudo-toasting/rapping shit over the beats.

Is this the album that had that really fucked up ginger killing video? That track was a bit meh but this could be alright.

I wish I knew. Nik'd from another forum cause it was full of gore... and motion symmetry

sounds okay on first skim

It got a good review from a magazine I like. Might give it a go. After Four Tet's new one of course.
