After stunning the world with the controversial video for her single, “Born Free,” rapper M.I.A is back with the first official single off of her new album, titled “XXXO”! Soooo good! You know this song will take her to the top of the charts!
M.I.A is planning to drop the new album very soon and her producer, Diplo, has confirmed that the release is set to hit stores in July.
“[The album] is cool. I think that she’s just wrapping up the mixing and stuff. I was in New York on Thursday, before I came here, I was mixing down the last single for it,” the album’s producer, Diplo, told MTV.com. “It’s a big, kinda giant-sounding record. … It sounds like some Wall of Sound, Motown kind of thing. It’s just me and Switch producing the album, and Blaqstarr did a couple of tracks, too. There are no surprise producers. No guest stars. It’s just her on it. She’s got a good attitude about it. She’s excited for people to hear it,” he added.
