single M.I.A. - “The 1”

[SpaceOddity]

MAYA has always been her magnum opus, fact. 

[FlyPirate]

i really like the song? it’s very post-AIM but she’s got some gems in the album you don’t want to miss

Why do I actually find this kinda exciting. Like a Christian MIA album just has to be insane.

 

 

[haimpedro]

she can do better.....

[brooklyndaddy]

This is the same artist who gave us MAYA...? 

[Slap]

It feels like she’s trying to do an MIA song but she’s lost touch with herself. 
 

It’s a cute bop though so I’ll use it. Can she give us another Bad Girls or Borders? 

[JoeAg]

it's cute, I like it!

I have high hopes for the album, this feels more like a buzz single/preview sorta vibe before she drops a more classic M.I.A. lead

[Rigalo]

This is kinda trash but I’m stanning at the same time lol, cute bop

she can stay retired instead of releasing songs that suck so hard 

[truthteller]

it's cute... but it's probably her most bland track  

[Polgg48]

The video is cool and she looks gorgeous as usual. 

 

But is she forreal a devoted Christian now?   idk idk everything feels weird to me nnn 

[John Slayne]

it's not bad, just very bland and forgettable...  at least Borders was a banger 

[Edibles.]

It's fine. I don't hate it but I don't see myself going back to it

[humbz]

what a lame track. she really lost her touch.

I always adored her work, then AIM came in and everything after this felt uncertain, unfocused, uninspired.

[Theshigo Washidu]

It’s a no from me.

[LanaDelRey]

So bad. Should've just retired after Matangi 

[Lazuli]

This serving me Sheezus era Lily Allen

Yeah..she's kind of tarnishing her legacy at this point.

 

She was like...the absolute freshest artist back in the day and I was such a stan. MAYA lost me a little bit but Matangi was kind of where she lost her ability to make good music. 

 

This track is almost unlistenable and it's like she wants to pick up where she left off with AIM (her worst) rather than trying to revisit the brillance of her first two records and the mixtapes. 

 

Maybe she the first two albums were just a fluke.

I wonder if The One was Island Records' choice as the lead single.

 

when she has these (and ofc OHMNI 2020):

that stand up one reminds me of the Kenzo mix! love that. would feel more like a return to form if she released stuff with more that vibe

[collin]

It’s weird that she has been releasing some decent tracks and a ton of amazing snippets and we got… this. Literally her worst single ever.  So odd and disheartening. Maybe this is their attempt to reach a newer audience? But it’s not going to work

[Rev8]

Um..it's okay
