About M.I.A When Kala came out in August 2007, M.I.A. was more a provocateur than anything else. Her first album, 2005’s Arular, had been a critical success but didn’t quite reach the audience it seemed like it might, given how often you saw her name in print. She had the swagger of hip-hop but wasn’t a rapper. She had an incredible, border-blurring set of beats that were hard to imagine crowds actually dancing to. She was smart and exciting and pointed toward big questions in the casual way great pop sometimes can: Does radical politics have a place in art? Is borrowing from a culture you don’t belong to a compliment or theft? Squint and you saw Madonna. Squint again and you saw the Sex Pistols, all in the guise of a British Sri Lankan art student who mostly seemed to be having fun. Once asked if she had a point, she said she didn’t know—she usually just kinda made stuff up on the spot. Not only was Kala a richer album, it penetrated the culture in wider, deeper ways. One of its songs, “Boyz,” which featured thirty-something drummers playing an ancient South Indian instrument called the urumi, ended up soundtracking that year’s edition of Sony’s NBA video game series for PlayStation. Another, “Paper Planes,” which sampled a late-period Clash song and made subtle mockery of Western xenophobia, played over the trailer for the stoner comedy Pineapple Express, which turned out to be one of the better-grossing movies of 2008. By the end of the year, Kanye West had sampled “Paper Planes” for the posse track “Swagga Like Us,” which was later nominated for a Grammy. This was confrontational, adventurous music that distilled Public Enemy, punk rock, and club sounds from across the developing world into something both complex and immediately enjoyable—and now it was in the ears of American teens. Looking back 15 years later, it still feels like an incredibly prescient, lively vision of Global Pop: something true to its various roots and influences, but which can nevertheless be understood anywhere. Drake cherry-picking from South African house music, the omnivorous sounds of artists like ROSALÍA and Burna Boy, the melding of American hip-hop with club sounds from Colombia and the Caribbean: We know these moves now, but M.I.A. was onto them early.
