Well that didn’t last too long.

With the release of AIM, what she said was her final album, M.I.A. seemingly semi-retired from the music game. Five months after she dropped her ultimate project, though, she’s locked and loaded with new music and another creative and vivid video.

“P.O.W.A.” is an assertion of both everything she isn’t and everything she stands for. “I’m not Rihanna, I’m not Madonna, I’m not Mariah, I’m not Ariana. I’ve been around this world causing drama,” she sings, continuing her career-long proclamation she’s different than the rest of the world’s pop stars.

Watch the video, which features an interesting coordinated dance and Mathangi laying in a bed of flowers, below.
