M.I.A.’s New Album “Completely Different”
M.I.A’s new album will be “a total departure” from her established sound, her music producer has revealed.
The singer, real name Maya Arulpragasam, has been working with Diplo on her third LP. They previously collaborated on her breakthrough single ”Paper Planes”.
He said: “On the new record I’ve just done for her - which might be the single - I sampled a bunch of gospely, old-school, Alabama, weird, Sacred Harp singers.”
“It’s turning into an Animal Collective kind of record, which represents a total departure from what you would expect from her, but that’s where her head was at.”
He continued: “She just had a baby so she was on this elated mood. With her it’s always sort of random, whatever you think was not going to be productive - that recording ended up being a really shitty demo and then it turned into a big song.”
