Photo by Kathryn YuM.I.A. is really racking up the industry-sanctioned accolades now. It's getting a bit silly. Her Pazz and Jop singles win for "Paper Planes" wasn't such a big surprise-- music nerds have loved Ms. Arulpragasam for years. But non-geeks are starting to catch up. First there was that Grammy nomination, and now an Oscar nomination for "O...Saya", her collaboration with composer A.R. Rahman from Slumdog Millionaire.But if you're worrying about all these stuffy award notices suffocating her rebel spirit, worry no more. In a statement reacting to the Oscar nom, she still pretty much sounds like a badass: "This is a great honor. Thank you to all the people who are supporting us and the making of a real story of a slumdog millionaire…maybe I can afford to book Dave Chappelle at the baby shower now. Thank you again; My mum wants everyone to know what wonderful news this is for her."Moms love the Oscars. And, oh yeah, Dave Chappelle: Holler at a new mom! Or at least do something...at some point in the future! (Please.)M.I.A.'s baby is still due Grammy night, February 8. So she'll physically be able to do her thing on Oscar night, February 22, but whether or not she'll take the stage in front of Jack, Tom, Kate and every other movie star on earth is still up in the air.

M.I.A.’s mutating new-wave jam “Come Walk With Me” made its way to Tumblr earlier this week, but obviously, the best way to hear the song is by reading the lyrics and looking at trippy CGI images of Hindu deities while you do it. To that end, M.I.A. has posted a lyric video of the track, [...]

Last week, M.I.A. shared a preview of the new song “Come Walk With Me,” one of the tracks from her forthcoming album Matangi, which finally looks like it’s going to get to come out. That preview made it sound like a breezy new-wave track, but the full song, which is now online, has a little [...]

M.I.A. has released a 90-second preview of track “Come Walk With Me.” Earlier this year, we reported that label reps said the album was “too positive” as a reason for release date push-backs, but with the fierce braggadocio of “Bring The Noize,” it was kind of hard to believe. Well, her...

Interscope, after allegedly shelving the album for being “too positive,” unveiled the release date today after M.I.A. threatened to leak it herself, tweeting, “If interscope...
