M.I.A postpones upcoming album to April 15

M.I.A postpones upcoming album to April 15The "Bad Girls" singer says that her forthcoming album "Matangi" will be released on April 15 due to her label's dissatisfaction with her positive theme. "I thought I'd finished it. I finished it and then I handed the record in, like a couple of months ago," said M.I.A. "At the moment, I've been told it's too positive. So we're having a bit of an issue at the label. ...They're like, 'You need to like darken it up a bit.' "

"It's due in April, which is the Tamil new year - April 15th - and I'm still working on it," Maya told the Gold Coast Bulletin during her trip to Australia.
