She also made the track available for streaming this morning on the website MatangiMixtape.comThe track shares a name with M.I.A.'s upcoming fourth album (the title references a Hindu goddess as well as M.I.A.'s birthname), and might give some hint of what to expect from Matangi. The new album is due sometime late this spring or summer.

“Let My Love Open the Door”

Pete Townshend | 1980

A peppy, hopeful love song, "Let My Love Open the Door" became a U. S. Top Ten hit for Pete Townshend in 1980, anchored by the kind of repeating synthesizer figures that he'd used in some of the Who's recordings in the previous decade. Although Townshend brushed the song off as "just a ditty" in Rolling Stone shortly after its release, in 1996 he revealed it was about love of the holiest sort. "It's supposed to be about the power of God's love," he remarked. "That when you're in difficulty, whether it's major or minor, God's love is always there for you."
