Speaking to Rolling Stone M.I.A. said she would release the follow-up to 2007’s ‘Kala‘, sometime this summer.

The forthcoming album was mostly produced by Blagstarr.

The singer also revealed that the new album would see her both singing and rapping stating, “I just stopped singing on the last one because I put more emphasis into production, so I was more about making beats and sang less on my last album.”

No exact release date was announced for the new album.
