Matangi is the fourth studio album by English recording artist M.I.A., released on 1 November 2013 on her own label, N.E.E.T. Recordings, through Interscope Records. Songwriting and production for the album were primarily handled by M.I.A. and long-time collaborator Switch, with additional contributions from Hit-Boy, Doc McKinney, Danja, Surkin and The Partysquad. The album's title is a variant of M.I.A.'s real first name and also references the Hindu goddess Matangi. Themes relating to Hinduism, including reincarnation and karma, feature in the lyrics, and the music blends western and eastern styles. The album was recorded in various locations around the world and allegedly featured input from Wikileaks founder Julian Assange.

The first single to be taken from the album, "Bad Girls", was released nearly two years before the album and became one of M.I.A.'s most successful singles. Three other songs from the album were released as singles in the run-up to its eventual release. The album received highly positive reviews from critics with many citing it as a return to form compared to its predecessor. Despite the positive critical reception, its first-week sales were significantly lower than those of M.I.A.'s previous album, and its chart peak was lower in all major markets. Matangi did however, top the US Dance/Electronic Albums chart.

Composition and recording

The artist stated that she took inspiration from the Hindu goddess Matangi during the album's creative process.

M.I.A. released her third album Maya in 2010, which received a mixed critical response,[1][2][3] and sold poorly compared to her previous album Kala.[4] Following this, the artist experienced a period during which she struggled to find motivation to make music. She eventually found initial inspiration for the creation of a new album in reading about her namesake, the Hindu goddess Matangi,[5] following which she travelled to India to research concepts for the album.[6] She ultimately made a conscious decision to steer away from politicised lyrics.[7]

Matangi was recorded in various locations around the world, including London, New York and Los Angeles.[8] The track "Atention" (stylised as "aTENTion") was recorded on the island of Bequia in the Grenadines. M.I.A. contended that the recording process for the song involved input from Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, who purportedly "came into the studio and took my computer and basically decrypted the whole of the internet, and downloaded every word in the whole of the language that contained the word tent within it".[9] The rapper has been a friend of Assange for several years and he made an appearance via Skype at one of her concerts promoting the release of the album.[10] The album was the first by M.I.A. to feature no contribution from producer Diplo, with whom she was in dispute.[7]

Music and lyrics
M.I.A. "Bad Girls" (2013)
"Bad Girls" was noted for its combination of Middle Eastern sounds and a pop chorus.

In an interview with BBC News, M.I.A. stated, "People expected spa music [from the album] ... but it doesn't have a tranquil flute massage sound." BBC News' Mark Savage characterised the album's sound as "a chaotic, digitally-degraded thunderstorm of hip-hop and bhangra; punk and pop; spitfire raps and thorny wordplay".[9] The overall sound of the album mixes eastern and western musical styles,[11] with the single "Bad Girls" noted for its combination of a Middle Eastern influence and a pop chorus.[12] Writer David Marchese of Spin described the track, which had originally appeared in a slightly different form on the Vicki Leekx mixtape released in December 2010, as having a "vaguely sinister rhythm slither".[13] "Bring the Noize" uses a beat from the track "Marble Anthem" by Marble Players, a group which includes Surkin, who produced several tracks on Matangi,[14] although the sample is not listed in the credits. Similarly, "Atention" reportedly contains an uncredited sample of "Never Scared" by the rapper Bone Crusher featuring T.I. and Killer Mike.[15]

The song "Y.A.L.A.", the title of which stands for "You Always Live Again", was seen as a response to the slogan "Y.O.L.O." ("You Only Live Once"), popularised by rapper Drake, who is also referenced on the album's title track.[8][16][17] The lyrics of "Y.A.L.A." refer to reincarnation, one of a number of concepts relating to Hinduism referenced on the album, including karma and the use of the om chant.[16][18] "Boom Skit" contains lyrics which reference M.I.A.'s appearance at the Super Bowl XLVI halftime show,[11] during which she controversially extended the middle finger to the camera while performing with Madonna.[19][20] The short track "Double Bubble Trouble" contains lyrical elements similar to "Trouble", a mid-90s hit for female duo Shampoo.[21]

Release and artwork

Matangi was originally teased when M.I.A. posted a photo of her in the studio in November 2011, on TwitPic.[22] Her fans gave her two ideas for the album's name, A.I.M. or Matangi,[23] which led M.I.A., whose real name is Mathangi [sic] Arulpragasam, to choose the latter as the album's official name. In August 2012 M.I.A. posted online an image of the album's proposed track listing, with some of the titles partially obscured. The list of tracks included some, including "Tentple", "Rain" and one beginning "Balcony in B", which did not ultimately appear on the album, or appeared under different titles.[24] The album was originally scheduled for a December 2012 release, but it was eventually pushed back by M.I.A.'s label, which claimed the record was "too positive".[25] The following month the rapper claimed the album would be released in April to coincide with the Tamil New Year,[26] but this did not occur. In August 2013, M.I.A. threatened to leak the album if Interscope took any longer to negotiate a release date. Interscope responded by announcing the album's official release date as 5 November.[27]

The album's cover artwork was first revealed in September and features a photograph of the rapper's face tinted red and green. Stereogum writer Tom Breihan characterised the artwork as continuing an "'ugly computer graphics' visual theme" also seen on her previous releases.[28] The artwork on M.I.A.'s releases has long been known for being garish. Upon the release of the album Kala in 2007, The Village Voice commented "Maybe one day [she'll] make an album cover that it doesn't hurt to look at".[29]

Promotion

"Bad Girls", a re-worked version of a song from the Vicki Leekx mixtape, was released as the album's lead single on 31 January 2012,[30] peaking at number 43 on the UK Singles Chart.[31] On 3 March 2013, M.I.A. released an eight-minute mix of songs from the album as part of Kenzo's autumn/winter 2013 collection at its Paris Fashion Week show.[32]

"Bring the Noize" was released as the second single on 18 June 2013,[33][34] followed by "Come Walk with Me" on 3 September[35][36] and "Y.A.L.A." on 22 October.[37][38] Three days before the official release date, M.I.A. streamed the album in its entirety on YouTube.[39] "Double Bubble Trouble" was released as the album's fifth single on 30 May 2014.[40]

M.I.A. promoted the album with a series of live performances, including two shows at the Terminal 5 venue in New York and an appearance at the Fun Fun Fun Fest in Austin, Texas,[8] and also appeared on the NBC chat show Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, where she performed "Come Walk with Me".[41]

Matangi received generally positive reviews from critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted mean rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an average score of 78, based on 37 reviews.[51] Jon Blistein of Rolling Stone called the album one of her strongest efforts.[52] Jim Carroll from The Irish Times hailed M.I.A. as "a musical super-sharpshooter with an incredible ear for hard-bodied pop tracks (Bad Girls, Come Walk With Me, Exodus) that boil and steam the most mutant genres into submission."[45] Gavin Haynes of the NME wrote, "MIA takes the basic template of right-now chart music and subverts it by forcing it to work triple time". He continued, "Beats are constantly morphing, and every track chucks handfuls of sonic debris at you",[46] Likewise, Alexis Petridis of The Guardian noted, "Like the woman who made it, Matangi is hugely inventive and a bit exhausting: if it's hard to take in anything other than small doses, you can't help but be glad it exists".[43] However, Petridis also acknowledged the abrasiveness of the album's sonic scope: "More characteristic is 'Bring the Noise' [sic], an unyielding, punishing rhythmic assault on which the only semblance of a tune comes from a distorted electronic horn section". He then goes on to admit that "in a way, that's the highest compliment you can pay her: a decade into her career, MIA still doesn't sound like anyone else."[43]

Other reviewers were more critical of the album. Writing for Pitchfork Media, Lindsay Zoladz described the title track as a "re-tread" of M.I.A.'s earlier song "Bird Flu" and "Sexodus" as "cardboard-stiff", and said that the album as a whole "unlike her most potent releases....sounds less interested in pushing and prodding the culture forward and more content to soar safely above it".[47] The A.V. Club's Marah Eakin characterised the album as "disjointed" and said that it had suffered due to the long delays to its release and that a number of the tracks utilised outdated reference points.[53]

Accolades

NME named Matangi the 12th best album of 2013 in its year-end poll.[54] and the following year ranked the album number 47 in a list of "101 Albums To Hear Before You Die".[55] Despite an initial mixed review, Pitchfork Media ranked the album at number 46 on their "The 50 Best Albums of 2013" list.[56] Time ranked the album at number 10 in their annual list.[57] Complex listed it at number 32.[58]

Commercial performance

Matangi entered the UK Albums Chart at number 64,[59] significantly lower than M.I.A.'s previous album Maya, which debuted at number 21 in 2010.[60] The following week, the album dropped out of the top 100 altogether.[61]

In the United States, the album debuted at number 23 on the Billboard 200 chart with first-week sales of 15,000 copies.[62] In its second week it fell to number 90.[63] The album reached number one on the Dance/Electronic Albums chart, M.I.A.'s third consecutive album to do so.[64] As of August 2016, Matangi has sold 77,000 copies in the US.[65]

Internationally, Matangi attained moderate impact on the charts, reaching number 47 in Belgium, number 61 in Switzerland, number 93 in Japan, number 96 in France and number 99 in Australia.[66][67][68]
