M.I.A. tapped French producer Surkin for last year's Matangi, and now she has returned the favour by singing on a song for Surkin's GENER8ION project.

"The New International Sound Pt. II" is a dramatic anthem, with a big, booming mid-tempo beat and cinematic synths that set the urgent backdrop for M.I.A.'s robotized singing. But even with all of the processing and Auto-Tune, M.I.A. still retains her signature style.

Meanwhile, M.I.A. has been rolling out some new material.
