With Kala, she pulls even more globe-trekking, and genre bending into her musical mix. Recorded in India, Trinidad, Australia, London, New York and Baltimore, M.I.A. has crafted an international sound that is as excitingly undefineable as it is infectious.

Aged just 11, M.I.A. (a.k.a. Maya Arul) became a refugee of war. Like many others, her family was forced to flee Sri Lanka when the Sinhala-Tamil conflict began to grip the country in the mid-eighties. Quickly adapting to her new surroundings, she has gone from those dark days to where she is today, on the verge of stardom. Her debut single, a self-released version of Galang, sent shock waves out to all that heard it in the UK and secured her the cover of the August issue of the US based Fader Magazine.    [ read more ]

M.I.A. was one of the 50 best So-Cal punk bands of the great early-'80s second wave explosion, but for some reason never received much lasting acclaim -- while seemingly all their brethren were acknowledged then and since. Sadly, their two best records, Notes From the Underground and After the Fact, are the period directly after this 37-song compendium.
