The creative juices were really flowing when M.I.A. released her second album Kala, so much so that she decided to record this album in several different continents. And after listening through this CD, you can definitely tell. It’s full of different beats from around the globe. But it’s not what you think. It actually flows together quite well. M.I.A and Santogold have a lot of similar sounds and that’s probably why you’ll see these to amazing artists perform together from time to time. Songs that stand out on this album are “Boyz”, “Come Around” featuring mega producer Timberland, and my favorite “Paper Planes”.
