New Music Tuesday--M.I.A



Today marks the return of controversial, alternative, "Paper Planes" star M.I.A with her third studio release MAYA. This disc is full of her signature eclectic style of diverging different musical styles of middle eastern sounds to electronic pop, hip-hop, rock, and funk. It takes the listener on a musical journey throughout her transition of becoming a mother and other life influences since Kala, the critically acclaimed album released in 2007. This album is full of creative highs and the lyrical depth fans have come to expect from the singer. Some stand out tracks from this album are the heavy rock tinged "The Message", the bass-heavy "Steppin Up" and sure single contenders "Teqkilla" and "Tell Me Why". MAYA and a special deluxe edition is available at all major retail outlets including itunes and Amazon.com
