I wish there was an M.I.A. feature on this album

What I'm asking though is did it actually leak on the internet, or were all the leaks just ripped from the Metro stream? Because the stream happened on the 17th, and like you said, the "leaks" turned up about a week before the album's date. Does it count as a leak if it was planned like that?

Considering Aura already leaked, I doubt she went to extremes to stop the album from leaking, but considering BTW didn't "leak" then we might just get that album release without leaks

The album leaked the day after I saw her at Radio 1's Big Weekend, so May 16th.

Then there's no hope

But at least we get to hear the album earlier

Would be here for that but Maya will never collab with Gaga . I can see the comparisons already when both will drop their albums in November.

It leaked before that stream, and like the day after MTN premiered on Farmville.

I remember the first time i heard Marry The Night i didn't really feel it. But then when the album was released it was one of my favorites

I still think that there was talks of a collaboration between them last year.

It's too coincidental that they would hang out in London together, then M.I.A. would tweet Gaga saying "TEA" and "CAKE" in capital letters before we knew those were song titles, and then just the next week Gaga said that there was a secret female collaborator on the album.

Yes, I know M.I.A. said she hated Gaga back in 2009, but she later took that back and apologized and said she was actually a fan.

Maybe she's on TEA?

And we're gettin it thru the app.

This is the same girl who was cheering L-U-V Madonna at the superbowl. Gaga and MIA also met up somewhere in England with the wikileaks guy who has been in hiding for a few years now.

I'm thinking the same.

She NEVER said she was a fan . Give me a source and I will believe you , but I am sure she never said that.

They did not work together lol. The thing is that MIA is a very serious Artist with a political message and that is why she is against those Mainstream stars ! Because she talks and raps about the real stuff and the Mainstream Media does not care about those topics in music .

As Maya once said mainstream
music is about nothing and she tries to make music which sounds like nothing but is about something .

This is very Off Topic so I will stop now .

Well she did this because it was Madonna . She didn't know what a cheesy song Madonna was planning so it really isn't her fault.
And please remember she wasn't just cheering LUV she also showed millions of people what she thinks with a Finger .

the industry isn't familiar with this concept

flawless

I hear M.I.A. is going to be on ARTPOP

Is M.I.A. really on ARTPOP? I'm here for this

Yasssssss
