Rating: - A debut that strikes gold.
You know how you hear types who complain that music today is never at all inventive and anything about its lack of diversity? Well, I may suggest these people check out Santogold, one of the more fresh artists around. As many have heard comparisons to M.I.A. I actually think I like this album way more than her works (although I don't mind 'em). The songs here largely use actual bass and drums, as well as other instruments for the songs.

Yes, some of these songs are heard on commercials, but you know something? They're all great songs. The album can offer something if you're feeling more reggae ("Shove It"), want something with real energy ("You'll Find a Way"; "Say Aha"), want some ... Read More

Rating: - Santogold - Santogold
It is refreshing to listen to new music which has its own distinct sound and vibe to it, Santogold (A.K.A. Santi White) delivers the goods on her self titled debut album. My favourite track on this release is the third single "Lights Out" a laidback feel good track where Santogold shines delivering an anthem. The first track and lead single "L.E.S. Artistes" is another outstanding contribution, Santogold sings about being an innovator in a game full of pretenders. Santogold keeps this album fresh, with no two track's sounding the same, creative music, another highlight track for me is "I'm A Lady" feat. Trouble Andrew. Original and experimental release worth checking out.

This is a really good album from start to finish. Santi (Santogold) has a very dynamic range and style to her voice, allowing her to do a variety of songs. The musical tracks behind her are a mix of electronica and live rock music...all done very well. The music and singing work together effortlessly...Santi sings as though she was lead singing for a band and not just singing on a track in the studio. After 3 full listens, I have yet to skip a track because the track was weak.

And dont compare Santi to MIA...one sings the other raps. As far as who's the overall better artist...hands down Santi. Ive heard way better rappers in my day than MIA..."experimental" or not. Santi's voice is ... Read More

Rating: - Second album in my life where I liked every single song the first time.
Such a deep mesmerizing album. I won't be able to stop listening. BTW the other album to win the distinction was Nirvana's Nevermind. Not really the same thing I know, but my tastes have changed. :) 32/M/CA,USA
