Music Reviews of KalaMusic Review: Where is my mind? Rating: 4 Stars
I think for better or worse everyone has done a decent job of breaking down what this music is all about. So I will just give my score: There are three or so very outstanding songs and moments on this disc. She even managed to shoehorn The Pixies into the mix! A couple of songs fall flat and do not fit in so well with the rest. Everything else is good and will probably grow on me with repeated listening. I often found myself grooving and moving to the rhythms and the production. Very produced, but in a good way. I am not disappointed with this purchase. I took a chance on a song I heard on KCRW and I am satisfied. If you are curious at this point, you will probably enjoy M.I.A.
Music Review: How come there is no 6 Rating?! Rating: 5 Stars
Kala, M.I.A.'s sophmore album to Arular, an album I couldnt put down, is electrifying and energetic. Newbies to MIA's sound will need to adjust their ears to the creativity and experimental nature that is Maya. To MIA cult following, it's just what we have been waiting for since we heard she was coming out with another album. I had rush to the music store and get it...and was not disappointed.
Top songs:
Bird Flu- Crazy Sick Dance Track
Boyz - Can it get any hotter
XR2 - I think it just did?
Paper Planes - Insane. Hot. The Best of the Tracks! I don't care if it is a cover. Bullet!Bullet!Bullet!
Maya, I wanna be your groupie.
Music Review: art? YES! YES! YES! Rating: 5 Stars
I just discovered her a few days ago and I just have to say that this type of unique artistry truly brings excitement to the ever-replicated cloned atmosphere the American music scene has become! Do you know what it feels like when you discover something so moving and intriguing that you have to have more, well thats what it feels like to listen to Kala. The opening song, Bamboo Banger is just that, a Banger that leaves you suprisingly interested for more! In the song, M.I.A hauntingly yet sensually oozes a confidence that surely merits and compliments the accompanying production..
Must HAve
Music Review: MIA's more creative side Rating: 4 Stars
I really like Kala, and the more I listen to it, the more it grows on me. I feel each song has a unique, different flavor to it. It doesn't seem as forced as Arular. I enjoyed M.I.A.'s first album with it's poppy hits, but after a while it felt forced fed. With Kala, there's a smoother, more orchestrated effort by M.I.A. and guest vocalists. The beats are more soulful and hypnotic in their rhythms. And this album will make you move. Can't wait to hear the remixes on the dance floor, especially for 20 Dollar, XR2 and Hussel. Kala really showcases Maya as a creative artist rather than an overproduced number.
Music Review: Kala is the best album i've heard since Thriller Rating: 5 Stars
First of all I would like to say I really enjoyed this album. Every time I pop it into my CD player my heart beat doubles. I discovered this album while reading an article about M.I.A in the Express(a Trinidad and Tobago newspaper), which stated that M.I.A came to our country to record some of its songs. Recently I got the chance to purchase it on amazon.com since it was not available in Trinidad. I must say this this my favorite out of the three albums and deserves more attention. I would recommend this to anyone who would like to have a heart pounding listening experience from beginning to the end.
