DETAILS: M.I.A. Teams Up With Hit-Boy For New Album
M.I.A. teams up with fashion house Kenzo to release a vibrant eight-minute track, filled with tribal drums and native Sri Lankan dialect.
Throw in all the rhythm changes and beat variations, and five minutes will pass before fans hear M.I.A.’s voice – but the wait isn’t in vain.
“I’m thankful for my hands ’cause it’s a good thrower/ I’m thankful for my body ’cause it’s a f*cking banger/ I’m thankful for my mouth ’cause it’s a real screamer/ But most of all, I’m thankful for…my power,” raps M.I.A.
