‘Matangi’ album is just over a couple of weeks away, backing up ‘Bring the Noise’ with a bratty new interpretation of YOLO, called ‘Y.A.L.A’. What does it stand for?
‘YOLO? I don’t even know anymore. What dat even mean tho?’ runs M.I.A’s own explanation at the end of this new track. It’s dumbed down, it mentions Real Madrid’s Ronaldo, it shouts and spits and gets right up in the face.
Listen to M.I.A’s ‘Y.A.L.A’ below:
‘Matangi’ is released on 4th November.
