European

The lyrics, the melody, her voice. The loveliest of several lovely "new" tracks. So much so that her overuse of the word "alright" characteristic of this period doesn't even matter.

I'm kind of hoping she'll put the past behind her with this album and stop singing about boyfriends from ten years ago, maybe sing about Barrie, the backlash she received, fame, life in L.A., stuff like that. I mean it's a wonder how many songs she has gotten from singing about her experiences from 18 to like 25. I think I've said something like this before but whatever this thread is huge and idek when I said it.

Lately, and weirdly, all of my previously downloaded (and intentionally deleted) iTunes content came back to my iPhone through iCloud. Thereby re-spawning some long forgotten Fergie jams, such as:
 
Paradise

Velvet

Voodoo Doll

~My body's a temple of doooooooommm... Oh, fergie.

London Bridge used to be my all-time favorite song.

...Aaaand M.I.A. goes without a label again. I wonder what this means?
 
 
 
Although, it's not for certain she's retiring, I don't think anyone expected her to stay in the music industry for much longer. She did explain Matangi to be the outcome of sudden inspiration, and she has been wanting to retire for so long. Ending her discography with a 'MatangiLeekx'-mixtape, and the documentary would be the perfect way to exit the music industry. I'm sure she won't completely retire, but I guess we'll have to wait and see how this plays out.

so someone dm'd her about it and she said..
 
  she probably left them cause of the way they messed up the 2nd single

Steve said that it will be featured in the documentary

apparently she followed someone at NASA the other day and blake posted about performing at an award ceremony. then this just showed up on tumblr
 

 
so random. the fuck is she doing there? negotiating a trip back to her home planet? spiting her rival? fucking an astronaut on the side? pls post more pics and videos when / if they become available!

I honestly think Tropico is tacky. Lana is a pretty woman, but we established that a long time ago. This movie seemed like nothing to me but honey-glossed candy floss. 
 
I whole-heartedly agree with this statement. I think the aspect ratio was good for nothing, thus making it an odd choice. If it supported the visuals, I could understand, but instead it felt like I was Peeping Tom watching through a small gap.    I think the music compositions leading up to the songs were lacking as well, it gave it a broken feeling that the gap-compositions and songs weren't flowing.

Can't wait to hear crappy audio of @@SitarHero saying "Man, we should have waited!" over new Lana arrangements. 

yeah really awkward tbh. He was poking Maya with a short stick LOL . She almost got the bait when he asked what she thought about America. Probably she remembered she is still fighting a 1.5 million U$ law suit and kept her thoughts to herself.  I wish we could hear her thoughts inside her head "US says that Sri Lanka is the best holiday destiny while the Government is commiting mass murder'. We all know she al;so thought that USA is as fucked up as the rest of the world maybe a little more LOL 

from the ComedyCentral webiste "Recording artist and humanitarian M.I.A. debuts a song off of her new album."    
 
 
​yassss what if she does Sexodus   but jesus christ Maya, you should be promoing YALA as a single, its the only song left that has a chance to chart and ive gotten a great response back from everyone that ive showed the video to....

SHE SAID IN 2 WEEKS AND WE HAVE SASSY YOUTUBE COMMENTS BACK OMFG

what if this is tropico... we waited all this time for 13 seconds

yeah does that count as hitting on two people or~~~

@@lola @@xNoirx 

To be shamelessly frank, @@evilentity, indubitably. He's so well-spoken, mature, sensible—not to mention he has a very welcoming, charming demeanor and relaxing presence about him...
 

I thought you hated her, wtf. 

The latest update from her mailing still lists Exodus, and adds The Weeknd as a feature on both Exodus and Sexodus:
 

She probably had a faceplant.  

Lorde.. after being guilted heavily into listening to her album (that's right, I'm side-eyeing you Sitarsky). I'm not on board with her vocal style, and that's even after spinning her records five times. However, I did manage to kill "Team" within a day, woops.    Good thing I still have "White Teeth Teens", if you like good vocal harmonies, she executes them extremely well in this tune.
 
After 2:17, it's all orgasms.
