In almost complete apposition to the substantive leaking of Arular for months and months before its official release, a strict and admirable silence has been maintained by Interscope around Kala until just a few weeks ago. If indeed Arular was the best UK debut since Dizzee Rascal’s Boy in da Corner, Kala must be the best UK follow-up since, maybe, A Grand Don’t Come For Free.
