M.I.A. Says She’s “On the Verge of Leaking” New Album
M.I.A. has once again said she might leak her forthcoming album, echoing her comments earlier this year. Back in May, after previewing new track “Finally,” she said, “I would love to leak it. I wake up every day and think I’m gonna leak it,” but admitted that keeping her label on side was a priority. This morning, M.I.A. tweeted that she was “on the verge” of leaking the LP. She added that “big American artists” had taken ideas from the record ahead of its release. See her tweets below.

Earlier this year, M.I.A. tweeted that she was handing her “last LP” to her American label. She added that the record would be out in “July. Summertime.” In recent months, she’s shared “Rewear It,” as a part of an H&M campaign, “MIA OLA,” “Foreign Friend,” and “Temple,” a collaboration with Baauer and BIGBANG frontman G-Dragon. She recently previewed a new song saying she wanted to leak the album. Her latest track, “POC THAT STILL A RYDA,” was recently removed from YouTube by UMG.
