| Quote: | The Born Free and Paper Planes (Oscar-nominated for the film Slumdog Millionaire) singer says her record company has stalled the release of her highly anticipated fourth album, Matangi, the follow-up to her 2010 international hit Maya, because it is "too positive".
The album title is a reference to her birth name, Mathangi, and a Hindu goddess of wisdom.
"It's due in April, which is the Tamil new year -- April 15th -- and I'm still working on it," she says.
"I thought I'd finished it. I finished it and then I handed the record in, like a couple of months ago ...
"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'. I don't know what it is but as soon as I work that out.''
And M.I.A., the artist who flipped the bird live on TV during her performance at last year's Super Bowl, is agreeing to that?
"No, I'm taking my time to decide what they mean. It's an interesting one for me,'' she says.
"It's like 'We just built you up as the public enemy No. 1 and now you're coming out with all this positive stuff."
So why indulge them?
"Well, that's the point of being positive," she says, laughing. |

What the hell? Too positive? Whatever, I don't like her recent stuff and she sold out to that Madonna stinker.

A world where record labels tell artists how to sound and what image to have.

Well she was able to pretty much do what she wanted on her old label but now that she's with interscope...
Anyway, she recently played a show in Australia. A new song from the album was used as an intro. Starts at 2:30

if it makes you feel any better, the kpop industry is built around hyping a release for a few days; announce it on the 11th, release it on the 14th.
though this is indeed not how American music works
