M.I.A.這張專輯定名為/\/\/\Y/\,乍看不知道是什么東西,其實是她本名MAYA 的象形字。
M.I.A.本名Maya Arulpragasam,出生於倫敦Hounslow,在家中的三個小孩中排行老二。他的雙親來自斯里蘭卡,一處坐落於印度洋上的蕞爾小島~也就是我們常喝的“錫蘭紅茶”的原產地。最早他的父親以工程師的名義來到英國工作,母親則藉由短期護照往來於故鄉與英國。之后父親參加了祖國坦米爾政權的抗暴運動成為異議份子,在安全受到威脅的情況下,舉家遷徙至印度的Madras。其后M.I.A.全家又因為經濟因素遷回祖國;但不久后斯里蘭卡內亂加劇,他們變成難民,最后幸得英國政府伸出援手,舉家再度移居倫敦?;氐接?,M.I.A.進入Hammersmith College就讀,隨后選擇了 Saint Martin 藝術學校專攻美術與電影。由此可知,M.I.A.在她的音樂創作中時常出現的政治議題,種族問題,以及充滿藝術家色彩的美術設計是從何而來了。
Maya (stylised as /\/\ /\ Y /\) is the upcoming third studio album by British recording artist M.I.A., set to be released on 13 July 2010 on her own label, N.E.E.T., through XL Recordings and Interscope Records. Songwriting and production for the album were primarily handled by M.I.A. and Blaqstarr. Rusko and Derek E. Miller of Sleigh Bells are among the collaborators on the album, as are M.I.A.'s long-time associates Diplo and Switch. The album was mainly composed and recorded at M.I.A.'s house in Los Angeles.
