M.I.A. Shares New Song “Goals”
The track arrives ahead of Meltdown, the London festival she curated.
M.I.A. has shared new song "Goals." The track is produced by Portugese artist Branko, who worked on M.I.A.'s 2016 album AIM. A video for the track, comprised of GIFs made by photographer Jaime Martinez, can be seen above.
A description beneath the video on YouTube says "Goals" is "dedicated to my hardcore fans" who have given M.I.A. "a sliver of hope in humanity." The short message ends with a mention of "Reality Winnerz," a possible reference to the 25-year-old Air Force Veteran charged with mailing classified material to a news outlet.
The "Goals" video will be displayed as an art piece throughout Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall public spaces during M.I.A.’s Meltdown festival. The festival begins on June 9 and will feature performances from Giggs, Princess Nokia, Young M.A., and more. M.I.A. will perform on the closing night of June 18.
