Free Music Notes for KalaFree Music Review: Man who Knew? Hit: 4 StarsMia's beats are good reminiscent of the 1980's and early 1990's is diffidently apart of the "Look at Me" generation thank goodness she has something worth listening to.
Free Music Review: Funk the War Hit: 5 StarsWe also Funked the war with this CD at the 5th Anniversary protestsin Washington, DC MIA Funks it up. Power to the People.
Free Music Review: People Hate Originality Hit: 5 StarsPlain and simple, some people hate originality. If it isn't your gangsta rap, tight pants and shirt wearing little rockers, spewing out the same garbage over and over and over again, then people don't want anything to do with it. MIA is an amazing artist and is freshening up the air with her material.
Free Music Review: Multiple listens are the road to fulfillment Hit: 4 StarsMy friends insisted that I, as a DJ, listen to this, probably in hopes that I would love it and fit it into as many sets as possible. They couldn't have been more disappointed, because I loathed it the first time I heard it--I could not, for the life of me, understand why M.I.A. was receiving so much industry buzz and artist acclaim. I still wonder whether she's a true innovator, and whether her star can rise any further than it has already. But regardless, an amazing thing happened. I couldn't get the CD out of my car player, and the more I listened, the more I was enamoured with the songs, the production, her quirky and oft-nonsensical lyrics, and the flow of the songs (Timbaland-produced "Come Around," "The Turn," and the vaguely Sneaker Pimps-sounding "$20" are the standout tracks). Perhaps the secret is Kala's deceptively simple-sounding arrangements; I don't know. But one is missing out on something irrepressibly fun, edgy, and savvy if one dismisses it at first listen Multiple plays will, I assure you, make you a believer in the end.
Free Music Review: It doesn't get much worse than this. Hit: 1 StarsDon't do it! Don't even think about it. The "freshness" wears off this CD in a matter of seconds. MIA's "new sound" comes across like a dying giraffe (on speed). There is a reason this thing is sold for under $6, because it is an absolute waste of your time to listen to it, and mine to even write about it! Please disappear into mediocrity, Ms. MIA, your 15 minutes are up. BTW, they made me give this album one star. When it doesn't even deserve that. Overrated. Over hyped. Over reviewed.
