Whilst lyric videos may be something of the norm nowadays, M.I.A. is one of the few artists to confirm to any kind of normality.

The video of the track, taken from the singer’s forthcoming album Matangi, is themed around Hindu animation with visuals you would associate with some try-hard screwed-up video game.

James Arthur has taken to his official Soundcloud page to unveil a teaser of his forthcoming debut track You’re Nobody ‘Til Someone Loves You.

The track, the first official single from the XFactor winner since he championed the 2012 TV talent competition, sounds incredibly promising, clearly taking cues from the time he’s been spending with Labrinth of late.

Speaking to Digital Spy last month, producer Naughty Boy described Arthur’s debut album as ‘urban-pop’ and ‘edgy’, saying “One of the songs that me and Emeli [Sandé] wrote [for him] is like a big orchestral piece and it has no drums.”
