Almost a month after the release of M.I.A.’s 3rd studio album, /\/\ /\ Y /\, we finally get to see the Hype Williams-directed video for the official first single, “XXXO.”

Themed after the crazy album artwork, Williams and M.I.A. take the viewers on a colorful ride of transitioning effects. M.I.A. is as pretty as can be and ummm that’s all there is to say about the video, watch below.

Now “Illy Girl,” this song be bamboo bangin’ our brains in the best way possible, we go crazy for this song. With that said, we have something to say about this so-called video.

Now artists like M.I.A. are known for being avant-garde and abstract but what’s the excuse for this lazy clip? Is it being put forward as an optical illusion; M.I.A. looks to be walking forward but she’s actually standing still. There is no reason to justify a video like this except to say you want a video for every song on the album, no matter what the outcome is.

Correction: The clip is only for visual decoration on her official site.
