M.I.A. says she expects her third album to be released as early as this early spring.

The singer, real name Maya Arulpragasam, explained that has now finished recording the as-yet-untitled follow-up to 2008’s ‘Kala’, describing it as “really odd” and “more musical” than her previous efforts. “I wanted it to be like, no gimmicks,” she declared. “It’s my third album and I have to kind of confront whether I am a musician or not… I wanted to make something that you could play that isn’t like trendy just for three months, or the length of a DJ’s attention span.”

M.I.A. added that she worked on the album with DJ Blaqstarr, as well as longtime collaborators Diplo and Switch.

Can’t wait to chaos again with the one and only M.I.A. – Queen of the Bamboo Banga!
