Kala is the sophomore effort from M.I.A, who impressed hugely with her debut, Arular. It flaunts many influences and builds creatively on the music from her first album. With production from Timbaland amongst many others M.I.A has come up with yet another unique and exciting album that was creating in studios all over the world. It has been both commercially and critically well received which is unusual for an album in the genre(s) that it is in, debuting at 18 on the Billboard 200 chart
