Another album that will most likely take me a few listens to fully catch on and understand what's going on here. But, from first impressions this is probably the last M.I.A. project to have some true grit to it. Sort of her most simplified in terms of production and accessibility but dope regardless and sort of helps on some fronts. The lyrics are a lot more in your face and there's nothing to misinterpret, since I know there's a lot of people who bump M.I.A. and don't understand that it may be parodying them specifically (Nirvana, Rage Against The Machine-ish.). This has a lot of down-to-earth approaches to both hip-hop and EDM which makes me miss the insane nature of the previous projects but it doesn't hold back on doing a weird or experimental switch-up occasionally still. From the get-go the first track impressed me because M.I.A. around this time was still able to do something I would've never expected her to do. Lot's of cool sounds and I wish this was her last album (since AIM was supposedly gonna be that.), this would've been a good last hurrah to book-end a career of progressive ass shit.

Matangi sees a return to form from the above average but not extraordinary MAYA, with influences from everything Mathangi can get her hands on. From deep, semi-trap like bass hits in Warrior to the garage-inflected vocab workout of aTENTion, few songs feel bloated or unnecessarily excessive (the Weeknd sampling Exodus and Sexodus are the only real faltering points here). Another great, if not perfect, album from M.I.A.
