M.I.A. and
Rye Rye seem to be becoming each other's favourite collaborators and now they've released yet another track onto the interweb. 'Bang' is produced by
Blaqstarr who helped bring 18-year-old Rye Rye to our attention quite a while ago with
'Shake it to the Ground'.
Fairly minimalist and with a pseudo-tribal rhythm, 'Bang' sees Rye Rye's self-assured vocals slowly but surely getting better and tighter. It's a grower.
