Here is a previously unheard track from M.I.A. called “Only 1 U.” We still know very little about her fourth full-length Matangi, so without a tracklist, we can’t say whether this comes from the album or not. But considering its message (“there’s only one you”) and the record’...

Last week, M.I.A. shared her rave-damaged new single “Bring The Noize,” and it was one of our favorite songs of the week.
