M.I.A.

"atTENTion"

M.I.A. won't be dropping her Mantagi album in December as it had been hinted at earlier this year, but the rapper has dished out a new tune to keep us happy in the meantime, an AutoTune-heavy track called "atTENTion."

The song doesn't figure on that previously leaked tracklisting, so it's unclear if this is intended to pop up on Mantagi. Regardless, the song shuffles on an ultra minimalist drum beat, with a pitch-shifted chorus of female vocals supplying a spooky melody. Note how Maya's rhyming scheme reflects the song title ("My existence is militant cause my content bangs like it's potent") when you stream it in the player down below.
