Having dropped the controversial video for "Borders" a month ago, M.I.A is back with fresh verses on Baauer's new track "Temples." Not as explicitly political as "Borders," which references the refugee crisis, there is still a topical, anti-war message in the lyrics for "Temples": "Step into my temple and you see me on my throne / Gold on the dome, don't drop that drone."
South Korean rapper G-Dragon, who is a regular on the Chanel front row, also features on "Temples," which will appear on Baauer's debut album, Aa, scheduled to drop 18 March. The American producer has worked with a number of other collaborators on the album, including Novelist, Future, Rustie and Pusha T.
Baauer was recently unveiled as part of Alexander Wang's #WANGSQUAD alongside fellow musicians Travis Scott, Alice Glass, Aluna Francis of AlunaGeorge and CL, and models Binx Walton, Anna Ewers, Molly Bair, Issa Lish and more. The #WANGSQUAD campaign is set to drop around the same time as the album, mid-March.
