M.I.A., the British rapper of Sri Lankan roots, has announced the release of her 7th studio album 'M.I.7' on April 17th. It will be released via her own label 'OHMNIMUSIC', marking her first fully self-directed release.
The album features 7 songs written in 7 days across 7 locations, and includes participation from the American gospel group Sunday Service.
Coinciding with the album announcement, the powerful new single 'Everything' has been suddenly released.
M.I.A. - EVERYTHING (OFFICIAL VISUALIZER)
The new album 'M.I.7' was recorded in Ethiopia, Egypt, India, London, Australia, and Los Angeles. It is a gospel album in a spiritual sense, rather than a genre. It is a crystallization of patience and experience, exploring her relationship with Christianity through her own perspective.
'M.I.7', which feels as if it could be her final work, reveals revelations from her own life living in a chaotic world. It utilizes biblical quotes and bizarre dream-like expressions, fully showcasing the highly original production and vocal prowess that she has been praised for over the past 20 years. However, this time she brings no political overtones, capturing matters that are more intimate, more ancestral, more existential, more transcendent, and perhaps more essential than any work she has created before.
For nearly two decades, M.I.A. has remained one of the most provocative and fearless artists in the world. With each album, she has built her own unique worldview and maintained an enduring influence across generations.
With the new album 'M.I.7', she breaks new ground once again. The vision was clear long before recording even began. It is a gospel album deeply rooted in prayer, the Book of Revelation, and the Holy Ark, tracing biblical truths to the modern era. It is her most personal work, reflecting her spiritual guidance.
Alongside the release of the album 'M.I.7', she announced plans to launch the second installment of her fashion collection 'OHMNI'. The connection between her music and her broader vision for a creative ecosystem is growing even stronger.
