There’s not a more gorgeously tragic sound than the swan song of a beloved artist.
English hip-hop artist M.I.A. has confirmed that she will be gracing us with just that with her fifth and final LP “AIM,” set for release Friday.
Since her debut release of “Arular” in 2005, M.I.A. has proven herself as one of the most talented and original female hip-hop artists in the mainstream scene.
Her work tends to follow themes found in Hinduism and issues faced by Sri Lankan Tamils, Palestinians and African Americans.
M.I.A. has been known to be vocal about these issues in the media and as a result, often faces criticism.
Wanting her final album to be a happy one, M.I.A. has said this new album will be her most positive.
As most music fans know, positivity is not something that has often meshed well with hip-hop. Let’s hope our reception of the conclusion is equally positive.
