Album Description
Available in:
Matangi is the fourth studio album by English-Sri Lankan 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 her most successful singles. Three other songs from the album were released as singles in the run-up to its eventual release. Critics' opinions of the album were generally favourable, but its first-week sales were significantly lower than those of M.I.A.'s previous album. Matangi did however, top the US Dance/Electronic Albums chart.
