New York, NY (Top40 Charts) M.I.A. debuted her new single, "Bring the Noize", on Zane Lowe's BBC Radio 1 show yesterday.
The track is expected to appear on Matangi, which was originally set for a December 2012 release date, but was delayed because the label execs at N.E.E.T/Interscope wanted her to "darken it up a bit."
She told Lowe that she's had difficulties finishing the album, and it's likely that Matangi will be her last full-length effort. "It's just one of those things where I've given up at this point. I was literally going to start putting out records from my bedroom. This was my last stab at it- I'm going to hand it in and wait for it to go out the way albums go out. If I didn't get it out right now, I would've definitely exploded."
