Un-Retiring

Now this is un-retiring news we can get behind!

British by way of Sri Lanka music star M.I.A. will be making another album!

She proclaimed retirement at the Bonaroo Music Festival earlier this year. However, since the fest, her song Paper Planes found a new audience, thanks in big part to the Pineapple Express trailer it was featured in.

There’s now a huge demand for more M.I.A. music!

She told Entertainment Weekly:

Well, [Bonaroo] it was my last ever show. And it still is. I stopped touring after that and I didn’t want to make music again. I was quite happy to just leave it all behind. I was happy with what I had achieved. Now, with the success of “Paper Planes,” there’s pull for me to make another record. Even my mum believes in me more [laughs]. It’s a nice encouragement. But I was planning my life as a fishing woman on the outskirts of Cambodia. That’s a joke.

We’re looking forward to her new stuff!
