M.I.A. has dropped the video for “Y.A.L.A.”, one of Matangi‘s most frenetic tracks, and the visual is fittingly loaded with intense visual stimuli. The clip begins with a warning about flashing images — so proceed with caution if you’re sensitive to that sort of thing — and mainly comprises close-ups of the singer/rapper mean-mugging and sneering through the song behind various color filters and strobe effects.

The video is a collaboration with i-D Magazine and Kenzo. Check it out up top, then watch her perform the track on Conan.
