M.I.A. (2013)

7.0/ 10

“On M.I.A.'s latest record, the UK-based rapper, singer, and producer takes a small step away from the noisy production that made her last record so bombastic, but still manages to deliver a series of smart, infectious, and wild banger-style party tracks.”

Favorite tracks: ONLY 1 U, WARRIORS, ATENTION, BAD GIRLS, Y.A.L.A., BRING THE NOIZE

Least favorite track: SEXODUS

M.I.A. has hyped her long-delayed fourth collection as her "spiritual album." While Matangi is not as abrasive or hook-averse as its predecessor ///\Y/, much of its sensibility feels dated, limp, or just plain perplexing.
