M.I.A. has shared a brand new single from her upcoming LP A.I.M. called "Freedun" - and it features former One Direction member ZAYN.

"Freedun" links up with "Bird Song" remixes by Diplo and Blaqstarr, last year's "Borders", and "Go Off" to preview the new record.

It's a dreamier, more chilled-out cut from M.I.A. with whirlpool synths and ZAYN's misty vocal strains. The percussion's still explosive, but it's nowhere near as confrontational as "Borders" or "Go Off".

A.I.M. is due out 9 September, and will follow 2013's Matangi.
