Free Music Notes for Kala
Free Music Review: Just to set the record straight...
Hit: 4 Stars
...M.I.A. produced Arular herself!! Diplo only co-produced Bucky Done Gun...the rest of the tracks are Maya's!
Off-topic digression aside, Kala is an excellent album. Go buy it now!
Free Music Review: WTF?
Hit: 5 Stars
How cool is this? They clearly do things a bit differently over there in Sri Lanka. (Yes, I know she's UK-based at this point.)
This is one of the oddest albums I've heard in many months, and exhilaratingly so. What with the electronic mayhem, mad tribal drumming, and political fury, it reminds me of nothing so much as the classic "Bonk" by the Australian band Big Pig -- but fed through a blender and amped up for a weirder and more dangerous millennium. "I'm knocking on the doors of your Hummer, Hummer"...you hear that, Gov. Schwarzenegger? I think she's coming for you.
Tori Amos, Imogen Heap, and Vienna Teng officially have a new rival for my fanboy affections. (I'm sure they're in great distress.)
Free Music Review: Sophomore Smash!
Hit: 5 Stars
M.I.A.'s first album "Arular" hypnotized me with incredible lyrics and outstanding beats, so I was beyond excited when I found out in a magazine that she was coming out with her sophomore album "Kala" over the summer. The day it came out, I dragged my mother to the music store near my aunt's house in Oregon and instantly bought it, and what an outstanding buy it was!
This album combines a mix of dance, electro-pop, techno, rock, hip-hop and reggae into one. Each song is combined with free-dance songs (Boyz) to slow, mellow, easy-listening songs (Paper Planes, The Turn) to club beats (XR2, Bird Flu) to a mix of every genre I think I've ever heard of.
Her voice is incredible, and this album is better than any album I have ever owned. It is better than the popular stuff people today are listening to. If you want something different and fun, this album is for you.
This is a must-buy! Incredible beats, incredible lyrics, incredible songs, incredible singer, incredible ALBUM!!! It's all incredible! You won't be disappointed with the result of this CD.
Free Music Review: Excellent CD!
Hit: 5 Stars
A great CD all-around. It opens with the bumping "Bamboo Banger" which has a terrific chorus but gets a tad repetitive. Other standouts include the radio-friendly "Paper Planes" and "Hussel" ft. Afrikan Boy. One of the best CD's I've bought to date.Free Music Review: paper planes
Hit: 4 Stars
The album is great. It brings out her rebellious view on life while keeping her views on war and killing admirable. The beats are inspirational for all djs moved by Diplo.
I recommend it to those who aren't afraid to hear something new, challenging, and above all audacious.
