NEWS: MIA New Album Details

After two hugely acclaimed albums (2005’s ‘Arular’ and 2007’s ‘Kala’), the global success of ‘Paper Planes’ , not to mention Oscar nominations, and that Grammys performance, M.I.A is set to release new album ‘/\/\ /\ Y /\’ which sees her as incendiary and forward thinking as ever.

Recorded in Los Angeles, the album features production from Rusko, Diplo, Blaqstarr and Switch, a collaboration resulting in dubstep bass and grinding industrial noise being added to M.I.A’s unique armoury of sounds. ‘/\/\ /\ Y /\’, draws influence from our technologically changing world, now that our every thought and action is documented and posted for everyone to see. The album is an uncensored screen-grab of 2010.
