Overview
- M.I.A. announced M.I.7 for release on April 17 via her own OHMNIMUSIC label and introduced the track Everything as the first preview.
- The album is framed as seven songs written in seven places over seven days, though the tracklist is split into 16 parts that include a closer titled 30 Minutes of Silence.
- Press notes describe the record as a gospel work rooted in prayer, the Book of Revelation, and the Ark of the Covenant, with vocals from Sunday Service, the choir launched by Kanye West.
- The Everything visualizer is live and credited to filmmaker MAHDY, giving fans the first look and sound of the album’s spiritual direction.
- M.I.A. is relaunching her OHMNI clothing line with so-called protection fabrics she says can block stronger wireless signals, and she is booked to join Kid Cudi’s Rebel Ragers tour with Big Boi on select dates.
