Description

A revolutionary debut that fused grime, dancehall, electro, and global politics into a sonic Molotov cocktail. Arular introduced MIA. as a fearless voice of diasporic rebellion, blending Sri Lankan heritage with London street culture and digital DIY aesthetics. This double LP edition from XL Recordings delivers the full album experience across two heavyweight discs.

From the explosive Bucky Done Gun to the genre-defying Galang, M.I.A. weaponizes rhythm and rhetoric with unmatched flair. Skits and interludes punctuate the record like pirate radio transmissions, while tracks like Sunshowers and Amazon showcase her knack for melodic hooks layered over insurgent beats.
