M.I.A. has been in headlines recently when it was revealed the NFL are attempting to sue the artist for a staggering $1.5 million because she gave the middle finger to Super Bowl viewers. She's cashing in on all her headlines today by choosing to reveal the cover art for her upcoming album, Matangi.
The album is scheduled to drop on November 5th, and will feature production from Hit-Boy, Danja,Switch, Surkin, and M.I.A herself. For the album art M.I.A. goes with a digital effect and for whatever reason, puts a cursor over her right eye.
