M.I.A.'s stage-name has described her last year pretty accurately. After dropping her highly underrated fourth studio album, Matangi, Maya has been pretty reclusive, and the excitement caused by her new demo "CanSeeCanDo" proved that fans are patiently awaiting new material.
M.I.A. has shared another demo today, which is more melodic and down-tempo record compared to her more recent work. A hypnotic synth line sets in as the hook, while Maya sticks in the pocket between singing and rapping on her vocals. Still no news on when we'll be seeing her 5th studio album, but the new material has sparked our attention.
Quotable Lyrics:
Power to the people
Yeah, the light is never done
Searchin' for the pictures
Yeah, electricity fun
