although inevitably losing the Best Video award to Rihanna, M.I.A.'s Bad Girls won Best Directing and Best Cinematography last night :pipe:

Back in November, Spin reported that Matangi, M.I.A.'s fourth studio album, had been delayed from its planned December release. In a new interview with Australian website Gold Coast, Arulpragasam explains the reason for the delay: too many positive vibes, according to her record label, Interscope.

Quote:
"It's due in April, which is the Tamil new year-- April 15-- and I'm still working on it. I thought I'd finished it. I finished it and then I handed the record in, like a couple of months ago. At the moment, I've been told it's too positive. So we're having a bit of an issue at the label. They're like, 'You need to darken it up a bit.' I don't know what it is but as soon as I work that out... I'm taking my time to decide what they mean. It's an interesting one for me. It's like, 'We just built you up as the public enemy no. 1, and now you're coming out with all this positive stuff."

So why indulge them, asks Gold Coast.

"Well, that's the point of being positive."
Lest anyone forget, back in August she tweeted to her fans, "no one in the industry collected blows in the last 3 years as much as me, this [record] is a **** you to them and a thank you to you." How she squares that "**** you" with the label's request for darker material is anyone's guess...
:amazed:

I'm glad there making her do some darker stuff ;)

Shaun 07-01-2013 06:02 PM
i don't see the point, creative control sucks.

some of her best songs are happy and nonsensical... Boyz :love:

Smithy 07-01-2013 06:05 PM
The fact it's being released almost a year after her most successful single ever tho :bored:

Shaun 07-01-2013 06:12 PM

One year ago, M.I.A. delivered unto the world her excellent single "Bad Girls", recorded back in 2007 and produced by Danja (the Timbaland protégé known for his work with the likes of Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears). Now, as Rap-Up points out, Danja has shared another M.I.A. track recorded at the same time, titled "Doobie". He calls it "somewhat of a weird, uptempo, high energy" cut with drums pushed through an arpeggiator.

Check out "Doobie" in the clip below, which finds Danja introducing the song while driving in L.A.; the track comes in at 2:34.

this has been titled "Matangi Mix" and appears on: http://www.matangimixtape.com/

which would lead me to believe it's a collection of short snippets of instrumentals from the album? :amazed:

This morning, the Kenzo fashion show in Paris featured an original piece of music by M.I.A.. It's called the MATANGI mix-- the same name as her upcoming album-- and it's streaming above via MatangiMixtape.com.

Matangi is tentatively scheduled for April 15, but nothing has been cemented yet. It might feature work from Hit-Boy.
might be totally unrelated i suppose

Following this morning's threat of a leak, M.I.A.'s long-delayed new album Matangi has a new release date. The follow-up to 2010's /\/\/\Y/\ is due November 5 via Interscope.

News about Matangi has been trickling out for over a year. She's shared a handful of new songs: the single "Bring the Noize", "Only 1 U", "Come Walk With Me", "Doobie", "atTENTtion", and an eight-minute mix called MATANGI for a Paris fashion show. Last year, she described the album's music as "paul simon on acid", though later, she said that the album was delayed for being "too positive".

It gets its name from M.I.A.'s real first name, Mathangi. Here's what she said about the album title:

"When I went to India, I was looking on Google for stuff that was the color of a certain green, and that's when this green goddess, Matangi, popped up. I was like, that's weird, the whole time I've been alive on this planet, my mom never mentioned where my name came from. Matangi was the goddess of knowledge and the arts--music, art, dancing, spoken word. When they invented this mythology 4,000 years ago, the concept of someone being about all those things was normal."
*screams like Flanders*

M.I.A.'s Matangi is due November 5 via Interscope. While we've already heard a series of new songs, including "Bring the Noize", "Only 1 U", "Come Walk With Me", "Doobie", and "atTENTtion", she's just shared another one. It's called "UNBREAK my Mixtape", appropriately tagged on SoundCloud with "soft", "lovers rock", and "break up songs".

Listen for the samples of Blur's "Tender" and Karen Dalton's "I Love You More Than Words Can Say".
