Product Details

Released in 2007, Kala found M.I.A. recording across four continents, pulling in sounds from Trinidad, Australia, Liberia, and beyond after visa troubles kept her from working in the U.S. That fractured, globe-spanning process became the album's greatest strength, with collaborators ranging from the Wilcannia Mob to Afrikan Boy to Timbaland woven into a sound that felt genuinely worldless and urgent.

"Kala is the kind of record that obviously demanded a defined personal vision" - Pitchfork"one of the best (albums) of the new mil- lennium"- The Atlantic"on it's 10th birthday, Kala feels newly relevant"- The Atlantic"M.I.A.'s border-crossing dance pop is a revolutionary manifesto"- SpinFeaturing "Paper Planes" which NPR named their #1 song out of the "200 Greatest Songs of 21st Century" and Roll- ing Stone included in their "500 Greatest Songs of All Time" list."the album that propelled her to stardom" - Stereogum1 M.I.A.
