M.I.A.'s previously reported audiovisual project "Matahdatah Scroll 01 Broader Than a Border" is here. It consists of two songs, the new track "Swords" and "Warriors" (from 2013's Matangi) and an accompanying short film, directed by M.I.A., scored to both songs. Head to Apple Music to check it out. Update: Watch the video below. Update 2: "Swords" is from M.I.A.'s upcoming album, which is titled Matahdatah. Today's release is the first in a series of music and video bundles that will be released leading up to the album.
"Swords" is listed as the #1 item on Hot Tracks; she also has one of the three first banners you see on iTunes (the last on I believe); A banner (the second, after Drake's) is also on display on Apple Music.

I replaced "Warriors" (one of my favorite tracks from Matangi) with "The New International Sound Pt. II". It still has the same theme if you've seen the video.
Is there anywhere other than Apple Music to watch the video? I might have to just give in to see the visuals...
Nevermind. Just saw the visual. So good. I love how she effortlessly portrays how women are just so badass...
