Santogold – Santogold
After recent comments by fellow blogger BLR regarding my (once again) belated attention to “old news” (to my defense I’ve always said I’ll post whatever comes in mind and not restrict myself to current news and events), here is a pre-release review.
Santogold is the self titled debut album scheduled for release on April 29. Santogold is basically Santi White with the addition of Jonh Hill. The album is a blend of indie rock, dance, ska, punk, reggae and electro (you get the point). So does all this work? The simple answer is YES. Santi produced an amazing debut album (at least for this project since she had previous albums under Stiffed) that is fresh, alternative and shows that indie rock is not only white territory.
You’ll find A Way, Lights Out and (her first single and track on the album) L.E.S Artistes are my favorite tracks. Once you hear the album names such as Noisettes, M.I.A. and especially Gossip will pop in your mind but definitely with a twist and the unique style of Santi.
