M.I.A. - Kala

M.I.A. (Maya Arulpragasam) returned in 2007 with her sophomore album Kala, featuring the singles "Bird Flu", "Boyz", "Jimmy" and "Paper Planes". The album was produced in a number of countries and clearly has a variety of influences that make each song interesting and unique. Kala received widespread critical acclaim and was ranked as one of the best albums of 2007 by many publications.

In contrast to her comparatively sparkly and streamlined debut, Kala is clattering, buzzy, and sonically audacious. While it has similar sounds, as its predecessor, it reaches further than Arular in terms of its overall palette of sounds.

Heavyweight double vinyl produced by XL Recordings in 2023.
