Our Review

After naming an album for her father (Arular) and one for her mother (Kala), M.I.A. made MAYA her own album. What this actually means can be researched in future years by uncovering the lyrics sewn deep in this musical pastiche where no style stands alone. The form of her music suggests there’s a party going on, but the sound of her music suggests the party is about to turn into a riot. The Sri Lankan singer uses enough abrasive tones to defy the usual conventions of sound and, in turn, redefines what music can actually be. It’s a heady ambition and while her controversial life story often gets in the way of her artistic ambitions, it’s unfair to judge any music based on a back story that neither helps or hinders. M.I.A. approaches music as a warpath. “Teqkilla” is a party anthem where one raises a glass in the spirit of revolution as the music assembles into a militaristic pummel where sounds drop from the skies. “Meds and Feds” is the sound of artillery working its way through an OCD sufferer’s therapy session. “Believer” surfs the smooth curves of Auto-Tune until it comes out on the wrong side of Jamaica.

Customer Reviews

This is the Future (5 stars)
Right here, right now. Maya is impossible to pin down, each of her three albums are completely unique. This album is a complete recreation, an expression of her Truth. Open your mind, open your heart, and let the Truth in. It may hurt... just a little... but in the end you will know Freedom. M.I.A. asks you to see the world with open eyes, not preconceived notions and media misinformation. M.I.A. is leading the way with her sonic soundscape

Ehh (2 stars)
Kala and Arular MURDERED the industry, this album however sounds jumbled up the only songs I can get down with are xxo, space and teqkilla. Other than that I don't recomend buying the entire album.

If you read a lot about new music on the Web, odds are pretty good that, at some point between the September 2004 release of "Galang" and the March 2005 release of Arular, you were struck with the urge to turn your computer off or maybe even heave it out of a nearby window. If you don't read a lot about new music on the Web, the preceding sentence indicates how bewildering and draining the chatter about M.I.A. became. Arular, M.I.A.'s first album, leaked well before its official release, allowing...
