Even though M.I.A. hit us all up with some bamboo bombast since 2007, from getting pregnant, to being nominated for a Grammy, and just generally being M.I.A. it definitely doesn't feel like she's disappeared at all.
That's why it felt like sort of a treat when Diplo revealed in an interview with Pedestiran.tv, that he and producer Switch are already at work with M.I.A. on her next album. "Been in the studio with M.I.A. working on her new record. It's like Gucci Mane meets Animal Collective. I think there are a couple of people [producing], but we're going to finish it off, me and Switch. We've done like four tracks already," said Diplo.
Just set aside the sonic ramifications of that idea, and consider for a moment; will song titles include "Back to the Leaf Trap House," or "My Kitchen Girls"? Cross your fingers and pray.
"So basically she's produced most of it and this douche is already tryna take credit. Who is this fool?" Yeah, you're Wright, Diplo & Switch never have anything to do with MIA's production... ignant sh!t.

Oh, they are these white dudes who add blips to her music that she discovered. None of the other artists they befriend go anywhere, but she keeps working with them so they don't start moaning about how everyone hates the white working class. Of course incompetent shts lick it all up. :)
This post on the Gang Gang Dance blog offers a succinct summation of my feelings about this: http://nowarforged.blogspot.com/2009/11/photobucket_2380.html
I'm really excited about this album!
