M.I.A. In Becks Partnership

"I'm not too much of a beer drinker"

M.I.A. is set to design a new limited edition bottle for Bremen based beer company Becks.

M.I.A. has always stood out, always trod her own path. Yet a new move has raised eyebrows, with the London born singer set to design the label for a limited edition beer bottle courtesy of Becks.

SPIN got the exclusive, and unveiled the limited edition bottle on their website. The design is in keeping with M.I.A.’s aesthetic, with the singer relying on her art school training as a graphic designer.

“Things have their way” she told the American publication. “I was in India at the time doing artwork anyway, and somebody sent it to me, and it kind of fit with the theme of what I was making. And so I said yes because I felt like it was perfect.”

Not that M.I.A. will be drinking the stuff, mind. “I’m not too much of a beer drinker, but when I was at art school, Beck’s always sponsored shows and stuff like that. I remember it being like a beer haze, not for me, but for most of my friends”.

Currently working on her fourth album, the singer refused to be drawn on any potential new direction. “You’re gonna have to wait and see! I’m trying to work that out every day, just working out the album. You don’t know until it’s done!”
