M.I.A. releases ‘Get Off’ from ‘A.I.M.’ album

M.I.A. will release her fifth studio album, titled A.I.M., on Interscope Records September 9th. The set will feature her brand-new single, โ€œGo Off,โ€ which is out today (Fri, July 15th). The track โ€” a hypnotic, bass-heavy amalgam of hip-hop, electro, and global beats – was produced by Skrillex and frequent M.I.A. collaborator Blaqstarr. โ€œGo Offโ€ premiered on Thursday (July 14th)ย on Annie Macโ€™s โ€˜Hottest Record In The Worldโ€™ on BBC Radio One along with an interview with M.I.A. The single is available for digital download and streaming via all participating digital retailers.

An accompanying video for โ€œGo Offโ€ has premiered on Vevo. Directed by M.I.A., the video features images of controlled underground explosions in the desert that capture the fiery nature of the song.

โ€œGo Offโ€ is the second track to be released from M.I.A.โ€™s upcoming fifth studio album which will be out on Interscope Records September 9th . The previous single and video, the politically charged โ€œBorders,โ€ addressed the refugee crisis and the current global state of affairs โ€” a topic that M.I.A., who escaped the violence of a civil war in Sri Lanka to come to London as a small child, has been vocal about throughout her career and will continue to touch on in her new album. The โ€œBordersโ€ video has racked up more than 2.7 million views on YouTube.
