OVERVIEW: The eagerly awaited debut album from pops genre crunching bright new thing - Santogold - is here. Since whetting appetites with the limited release Creator late last year both sides of the Atlantic have been crying out for more. The self titled album 'Santogold' is as sonically challenging and innovative a record as its roll call of cutting-edge collaborators (Diplo, Switch, Disco D, Sinden, Freq Nasty) would suggest, it reconfigures dub, pop, rock, and electronic influences into something new and intoxicating, then attaches them to nuclear-powered pop tunes. From sing-a-long pop gem 'Say Aha', with its undeniably catchy chorus - to the eerily magnetic 'Superman' and Bjork's favourite track of 2007 'You'll Find A Way' - which resulted in Santogold opening up for her Madison Square Gardens show in New York. You might not be familiar with her name but you've probably heard Santi White aka Santogold's past work. Formally the front lady of her own band Stiffed, she's also written for Lily Allen, Res and Ashlee Simpson, and more recently was a guest vocalist on Mark Ronson's 'Versions' album. Now time to take centre stage with her own project Santogold, Santi’s influences are as noticeable & varied as her animal print accessories. Growing up listening to acts as broad as Nina Simone, Bad Brains, The Cure, The Pixies and Talking Heads, ‘Santogold’ the album, is a reflection of her musical tastes all mashed up into something unique and her own. Santogold's ability to marry real songwriting talent with an intriguing musical prowess makes her an uncategorisable and unstoppable force.
