K first introduced me to M.I.A. when she lent me her last record, Arular. I loved it! This one, not so much. When K and I drove up to Chicago last week to visit the British Consulate, I put on Kala. We never turned it up, played a song again, or even commented on a single track. I don’t think our conversation was that exciting that we couldn’t have been torn away for an innovative musical moment. While M.I.A. has a more global sound than most semi-mainstream artists, this record is pales in comparison to Arular. --J
