A.I.M (International Deluxe Edition)
International Deluxe Edition Includes 5 Additional Tracks!
'A.I.M' is the hot new album - and reportedly final studio album - by M.I.A!
The release, M.I.A's fifth studio album, features first single "Swords"
With her fifth studio album, 'AIM,' M.I.A. returns to her own roots as a Londoner of Tamil refugee heritage. She provides a future template for today's refugees to narrate their own lives beyond the many deceased and beyond catastrophe. By centering the living, she forces us to look beyond the sensationalist news headlines and question what happens when refugees get out of their tents and become our foreign friends. She encourages us to think about the struggles in our very backyards, spaces that are kept in order by overworked and underpaid shadow workforces made up of refugees who ought to be void of stories.
'AIM' gives us the tools to finally move from abstraction into a clear vision for a world where the refugee is no more an anomaly, but makes up a powerful majority. It aims to overthrow categories that she, as other refugees, do not fit into anymore and envision a world where the sky isn't synonymous for death anymore, where the sea is no more the home of nameless cemeteries.
'AIM' is not just any ordinary album; it's the climax of a musical journey which has taken us through a geography of exile to bring us right back into the backstreets of London, where survivors meet the living.
