Last September, M.I.A. lit up the Internet with an Instagram post that showed Skrillex working on her upcoming album. Now, we get to hear the fruits of that labor in the form of a track so dope, it could make you go off!

The first single off MIA’s new album, Go Off is sultry with heavy Mideast influence and a just-right-of-center rhythm that gives the desert trap beat some serious gangster lean.

The song premiered on Annie Mac’s BBC Radio 1 show and the new track not only features production work from Skrillex, but also from Blaqstarr. “Two opposite worlds, two opposite DJs,” M.I.A. told Mac, “but that's what it's about. M.I.A., and that's the AIM: keeping people together.”

The “hottest record in the world” will be on MIA’s upcoming album AIM which will be released this September and is rumored to be MIA’s last. M.I.A. promises tons of collaborations from lots of different musical arenas.

“It's the cleanest album I have,” she says. “I just want it to be happy. There's no complaints on it. It's another side to me completely.”
