(AU magazine, October 2009)
Like a male La Roux, Killa Kela at first listen seems to have finally
found the cultural zeitgeist on this, his third studio record. A beatbox
hero with fans in Pharrell Williams and Prince, there's less of his
special skill on show here and more of the sort of sleazy electronic pop
that the youngsters are loving these days. On Amplified! his star ascends
with single Everyday, but the exuberence is short-lived, as the appearance
of Hadouken! on Get A Rise brings to mind Linkin Park in a food processor
with Fischerspooner. Not pretty.
