The new song comes on the 15th anniversary of the rapper’s 2005 debut LP ‘Arular’.
M.I.A. has released ‘OHMNI 202091’, her first new song in three years on Patreon.
“Happy Arular release day!!” she wrote on her Instagram page, before adding that the song’s cover art was made by IKHYD2020.
Earlier this year, M.I.A. launched a two-tiered Patreon account — for $5 or $10 a month — promising “short films, clips and video diaries,” unreleased footage from her MATANGI/MAYA/M.I.A documentary, live streams, Q&As and new music, which she delivered on Sunday.

The page was initially launched earlier this year to document the process of making her new album, the follow-up to 2016’s AIM. She shared the song via Twitter, noting that it was “free music to get you the f*ck outta bed.”
“I’m going to try something different, which is basically to open up the conversation with my fans. So come and check me, subscribe, and let’s see what we can do together.”
