Kalai

Artist: Kalai

Album: Acoutacism

Year Released: 2001

Track-By-Track:

Both Sides

Bagpipes start out this unique blend of instruments and styles. Great intro leads to the main event that is everything we know and love from Kalai. He could not have chosen a better track to start this album.

On My Mind

This is the only wedding song you’ll ever need. Great lyrics, harmonies, and backtrack. Love this one.

Untouched

Intro is a bit of a change from the previous tracks, yet Kalai holds strong with his own, personal style. This one has everything. 

Divide Me

Chill vibe that’s perfect for a road trip, or a trip down memory lane. A great change from the rest of the album, but fits in, perfectly.

Shotgun Blues

Keeping the chill going with this one. Lyrics are entirely personal, and I’m sure will strike a chord with many.

One Life

And we’re back with the dance vibes. This is one of my personal faves from Kalai. I love rolling down the windows and blasting this one on a summer evening. Yes, I’m that girl.

It Passed

This intro is just everything. Kalai has a way with a guitar. Lyrics are a bit difficult to decipher, to be perfectly honest. Still a nice song, though.

Indian Man

This blog doesn’t review music with political points, as this song has. Up to you if you like it.

Patience Lies

Nice song. Not bad, but not the best of the album. Music is nice, but doesn’t seem to fit the lyrics, in my opinion.

In the Back

Depressing. Again, very personal lyrics that some can relate to.

Fading Out

Beginning to wonder what Kalai has gone through in his life. Yet another personal one. Music is perfect for the lyrics.

Strong Ties

Interesting way to start...? However, a fitting end to a debut album. Check out the lyrics. 

Recommended?

Absolutely! I have loved Kalai since 2004. I got the chance to see him live, at a small outdoor venue. When I met him, he was the most genuine person. That’s how an artist should be— genuine.
