Finally, M.I.A.'s highly - anticipated new album 'Matangi' is here! Originally set for a late 2012 release, it was delayed due to disputes with Interscope. But after almost a year, it's worth the wait. M.I.A. says it's her'spiritual' album, named after the Hindu music goddess, with lyrics about karma and reincarnation. As always, she seamlessly blends Eastern and Western styles. Don't take the'spiritual' too seriously, as the beats are club - ready, thanks to collaborators like Switch, Hit - Boy, Surkin, and the Partysquad. Her rap skills have also improved. Check out hits like 'Bad Girls', 'Only 1 U', 'Exodus' with The Weeknd, 'Double Bubble Trouble', 'Y.A.L.A.', and 'Bring The Noize'. It comes as a black double vinyl with a gatefold sleeve and a free download. Music label: N.E.E.T. / Interscope 2013. Reviewed by Pato San 12/2013.
