M.I.A. is a hot mess, we are all too familiar with that latest “video” that caused such a kurfuffle on the internet. And theres more involving the latest face-off between M.I.A. and a journalist misrepresenting her during an interview, and yes, what kind of french fries she was eating.

I really don’t care about all this, but I do care about what I am hearing with her new song Haters. Is it good enough for me to forgive M.I.A.—probably. I just hope she is able to consistently create such unique sounds and experiences rather than be the center of drama-rama. And no I’m not equating her drama with what goes on in her homeland of Sri Lanka, just to be clear.

Ok forget all that and just listen to Haters:
M.I.A. — Haters
