Following on the heels of her performance of the song on Wednesday on Conan (see below), M.I.A. has now released her official video for Y.A.L.A. off of new album Matangi.  The video is a visual phantasmagoria of singer close-ups and glow-in-the-dark flashings.  Amongst a lot to like in this song and inventive video:  the song simply rocks; girl goes against the grain and keeps her clothes on; and girl’s not afraid to get in society’s face.

The video (commissioned by Brit fashion publication i-D with the fashion line Kenzo) was directed by David Sannwald, and the song was produced by the Partysquad.
