M.I.A. has dropped a new single called “The One,” produced by T-Minus, Rex Kudo, Charlie Handsome, and Heavy Mellow. Over the track, the outspoken rapper delves into spirituality.
“I guess [“The One”] is just about sticking to what you are and the truth," M.I.A. recently told Zane Lowe. "I think, at the end of the day, that is also what this record is about to me, is still trying to find truth. In a way, it’s kind of rebellious, because everybody’s expecting me to put out that really havoc … Everyone’s expecting that, but it’s not, that’s not what it is. It’s about the battle of the ego versus you finding yourself and you finding the spiritual leader.”
The song is expected to be on M.I.A.'s forthcoming album MATA.
