M.I.A. is back with new heat. Moments ago, the singer shared a pair of previously unheard tracks—”OLA” and “Foreign Friend”—through her official SoundCloud account. The songs (uploaded as one file) follow the February release of the NFL-targeting “Boom ADD.”
Arulpragasam attached a brief statement to pair with the song’s release, which reads as follows: “OLA. TO ALL MY FLYPIRATES and DJS – THIS IS AN ANNOUNCEMENT !!!! LIVE FROM THE MEXICAN BORDER OLA !!!! MIA ON THE WAVES Miauk–Mia-ola. I love u brazil!”
It’s an expressive, charismatic, and politically charged effort—typical M.I.A., in the best way. Dive into the freshly debuted audio below. Stay on the look out for news of Mahtahdah, expected to arrive before 2016’s end.
