Anyone else have this yet? It’s fucking amazing! A really good follow-up to Santi’s great debut album. I’m only on the second listen but everything is good on the album and much of it is fucking excellent!
Santigold is great, just heard her debut a few nights ago. Most musicians should be like her in the new age of music. I’ll check out the new one!
lookk at dees hoesss…bring da bass…buh buh buh
Top marks for the cover:
I love Santigold. great talent, good music behind her, and I’d fuck her for 17 days in a row.
Yeah santigold is great stuff. I haven’t given this new album much time yet but will do so asap. MIA better up her game if she wants to keep up with Santi!!
Well if M.I.A.'s newest single is any clue, she’s stepped back into the stone age.
just ordered the Santigold on vinyl. comes in a gold/black vinyl, sounds cool to me! came with an instant digital download, but I haven’t listened to it yet. saving my first listen for vinyl. I do know the two singles from the album and love them.
just listened to the new MIA snippit. it’ll be a good feel good summer track, a club track. I’m cool with that.
Fucking autotune.
Fucking autotune.
Huh? I just heard her newest, better than the debut…I didn’t notice any autotune…
Or if so it’s really light
I was talking about the preview for the new MIA single.
Oh…yeah. Bleh.
She’s a person before being a musician, I applaud her efforts to empower education in Lebanon and Sri Lanka and all that, but I’m not into her musically.
Happy y’all digging Santi’s new one. Still love it myself.
I posted this on another forum regarding the MIA/Santigold connection and thought it might be relevant here as well:
One thing I think about the MIA comparison: I love both artists and can see how people lump them together, however I tend to find that they’re more inverse images of each other than similar. MIA is essentially an experimental artist who doesn’t really “get” how to write a pop song–she uses her producers to make her strangeness more palatable to a pop ear. However Santigold is very much a song smith, who writes amazingly catchy commercial fare who uses her producers to bring an edge of strangeness to tracks that could be a little too normal. Interestingly, I tend to like their work with Switch/Diplo best as both seem to understand how to tease the pop out of MIA and the strangeness out of Santi without sacrificing their essential nature. (side note: I also felt MIA made a big misstep on MAYA and most of the producers didn’t know how to reel her in-I suspect if “Bad Girls” is an indication she may swing a little too far in the opposite direction for her next album).
