New Music: M.I.A.’s Vicki Leekx Mixtape

The mixtape opens with a female narrator echoing sentiments for freedom of inspiration inspired by Julian Assange’s recent campaign. Keeping with the “Internet is going to get us theme” from the last album, M.I.A. sonically and thematically creates a landscape that chatters a mile a minute and feels like every social network rolled into one. The looseness of the album seems more concrete in execution and idea than her previous release. Random. With production from Danja, Rusko, Diplo and more, you’ll want to add this to your collection as soon as possible.
