It looks like M.I.A.'s fourth studio album, Matangi, is on its way. This morning, in a series of Twitter exchanges with fans, she noted that the in-the-works record will be out by December, along with an autobiographical book, documentary, and art exhibition (via Billboard). She also mentioned that the album will feature "no collabs" and only producers "that don't act like fame whore coloniser." Ouch.
She also described the record's genre as "paul simon on acid" and wrote, "no one in the industry collected blows in the last 3 years as much as me, this is a fuck you to them and a thank you to you."
Yesterday she posted a crpytic partial tracklist on Twitter. (It excludes "Bad Girls", but M.I.A. said on Twitter that the track will be included.) Check that out, below, after a two-minute video previewing a new M.I.A. song called "Come Walk With Me".
