The Specials, who recently reunited, backed up M.I.A. on “It Takes A Muscle.” It’s one of the more melodic tracks on /\/\/\Y/\ and was produced by Diplo. M.I.A.’s reggae-flavored version of the Spectral Display track works for the Specials — though, as Diplo often points out, singing doesn’t come naturally to M.I.A. Watch:

Wow, she sounds horrible. (and I’m saying that as a tireless /\/\/\Y/\ apologist.) The Specials sound great, though. Shame she couldn’t pull it off.
I actually liked that, and I don’t care for the album at all.
Weird.
