M.I.A. Criticizes Label for Not Releasing Diplo-Produced Version of New Single, "Bird Song"

M.I.A. criticized her record label, Interscope Records, today for not clearing a version of her new single, "Bird Song," produced by Diplo. The single is from her upcoming album, Aim. "Please sort it out," she tweeted about the track, which she hopes to release next Friday. A different version of "Bird Song," produced by Blaqstarr, dropped on Thursday.

Earlier this week, M.I.A. teased the single with an image including Diplo's name on her Instagram leading to confusion when only the Blaqstarr version was released.

Although she doesn't clarify the specific issue, she does ask for the track to be cleared so it can be released. Read her series of tweets below.
