At First Listen

April Kae and M.I.A.'s 'Matangi' (2013)


Listen Later

One of the faces of Fender's new Player II series, bassist April Kae (Fever 333), joins the podcast to share one of her biggest musical inspirations: British rapper, singer and producer M.I.A.

From her visual art to her social media creation to her music, April Kae strives to create intrigue with her own work, and she finds a wealth of inspiration from other powerful women who march to their own beat. April found the Matangi album through the hit single "Bad Girls" and was immediately struck by how untethered and unconventional it sounded as a complete work.

Diamond and Andrew were both surprised that April chose an album with no electric bass on it (!). But did they find the same empowering message on Matangi as April? Listen to find out!
