M.I.A. has enlisted the help of Zayn Malik, otherwise known as ZAYN, for her new track.
They've collaborated on the single Freedun (a deliberate mis-spelling of the word freedom, because he is all cool and stuff now).
The song is set to appear on M.I.A.'s forthcoming fifth album AIM, out next week, and received its premiere as Annie Mac's Hottest Record last night.
M.I.A. paid Annie a visit to play the track and reveal the story behind it...
“I made the song a long time ago and always thought it was too mainstream sounding for me, so [the collaboration] just seems like it's perfect, if I was going to have a collaboration and have someone like Zayn, this is the perfect song, it sort of takes me out of my comfort zone but it also takes him out of his a little bit as well.” M.I.A.
You can listen to the track (which she previously revealed they wrote with the help of WhatsApp) and that full chat with Annie below...
