More M.I.A. More M.I.A.

A typically abstruse message has been relayed via MIA's social media to warn fans of impending new music from the UK recording artist.

"Get ready for noize!!!" blurted an email alert sent out on the weekend. MIA is set to drop a new track on Zane Lowe's BBC Radio 1 show, Monday 17 June at 7pm (GMT).

On her website, MIA had posted the message: "BRING THE NOIZE VIDEO COMING SOON! #BTN #MATANGI #GOLD"

Last month Street Cast London posted a pic, on Facebook, of the team they put together to appear in the new MIA video. The image is emblazoned with the "BRING THE NOIZE" message as well as the term "LDN UNIFIED".

MIA was expected to release her fourth album last year.That album, now known to be titled Matangi, was postponed to April following talk of her label saying it was "too positive". It is still expected some time in 2013.

Last year she issued the track Bad Girls with a video that has since clocked up over 36 million views on YouTube alone. The track put MIA firmly back on the dancefloor having experimented with a more abrasive sound on her 2010 album Maya.

Although the posting on her website is accompanied by a white noise hum, an eight-minute 'preview' mix found MIA back dabbling with a variety of more club-flavoured cuts, heavily influenced by non-western rhythms.

MIA is reported to have worked on Matangi with Kanye West/Jay-Z/A$AP Rocky producer Hit-Boy as well as her Bad Girls producer Danja.

The preview mix of Matangi (via DDotOmen.com) was created for Japanese fashion label Kenzo back in March, to be used in their fall/winter show at Paris Fashion Week - listen to it below. A publicist for MIA described it as being "inspired by" the "concept that surrounds the album".
