She’s grown so much from "Por Vida" ( her first album) and even before that, making videos on top of buildings in our home country, videos in a bathroom & corner stores, to isolation and tours. Others believe Amy Winehouse was reborn in her while others do not agree with this statement because they say she's so far from everything Amy did during her career that any comparisons are purely superficial and Kali will always be her own thing. Well, respecting all the assertions of those who support her we can say that Kali is one of the coolest talented female artists to come out with a voice that is rare and very special. Her music is considered so calming and warm and alluring. Seductive and entrancing. Here we have "Loner" from the album "Por vida".
