M.I.A. Proves to be a Lyrical Genius

By: Roger Santana

M.I.A. is at it again, fusing genres and controversial lyrics to produce the perfect comeback album. Her new record, Matangi fuses dancehall, dubstep and techno.

The track Double Bubble Trouble begins with a reggae beat before a fast house dance vibe.

In Come Walk With Me, she leads with soft vocals but quickly picks up the tempo to a rapid club song with a Bollywood influence.

Many lyrics are controversial and political.

“Don’t go screaming if I blow you with a bang,” she raps on Bad Girls.

M.I.A. is breaking boundaries and fusing genres. She has produced the perfect comeback album.
