British / Sri Lankan sensation M.I.A. has just released her first new song since 2007 titled "Theres Space For Ol Dat I See". You can watch the video below.If this song is any indication of what her next album will sound like expect a much more spacious atmosphere where M.I.A., whose real name is Maya Arulpragasam, will use singing and melody to fill the void left by a more straight forward production.
Her last album Kala was a celebration of third world pride and featured many exotic, yet hypnotic and intoxicating, beats that enabled her to build new world rhymes and chants as opposed to a melodic hook. I ranked it the 14th best album of the decade.
The as yet untitled record is due in the spring.
