Recorded in Ethiopia, Egypt, India, London, Australia, and LA, M.I.7 is M.I.A.'s gospel album, not in genre, but in spirit. A work of devotion and lived experience, it examines her relationship with Christianity through her own lens. Performed as if it were her last, M.I.7 arrives as a revelation in her personal timeline, completed in the chaos of the current moment. Biblical in it's references and prophetic in it's delivery, the album channels the singular production and vocal prowess she has been lauded for over the past 20 years. But this time she leaves politics at the door, and enters with something more intimate, more ancestral, more existential, more transcendent, and more essential than anything she has made before.
