Santogold, the self-titled debut album from Santogold, impressed me to the point where I'm waiting for their next release.
If you like
- M.I.A.: Paper Planes
- New Young Pony Club: FAN
- No Doubt
- Yeah Yeah Yeahs: Gold Lion
Get Santogold!!!!
At first listen the tracks seem like M.I.A., with its female lead and experimental sounds, but after listening to the album for the third time I find that the band Santogold has two distinct sounds.
A quick trip to Allmusic.com we find the band has two listed members John Hill and Santi White. I would say the band has John White and Santi White[M.I.A] and Santi White [No Doubts Gwen Stefani] .
The tracks seem to fall in one of the two groups lead singers genres. This gives the album a great round about feel. Listeners can easily break up the 11 songs into 2 different playlist.
Santi White [MIA version]
- My Superman - very chill song, more of an after hours kinda song.
- Say Aha - MIA esk song, very catchy, favorite song.
- Shove It - MIA esk song
- StarStruck - Trip hop / Gorilliaz esk
- Unstoppable - MIA
- Creator - My least favorite track. Most like MIA less known tracks
- Anne - Trip hop / Gorillaz esk
Santi White [No Doubt]
- You'll Find A Way - Catchy, alt rockish
- L.E.S. Artist - If you had to make montage this would be song, deep song
- I'm a lady - Easy song, sounds like a chill New Young Pony Club
- Lights Out - Sounds like a 60s band made this song
This is a must have album, the beats are sweet, and I'm proud to admit that I have listened to the whole album at least 9 times in three days!

would agree with this review, hadn't heard of Santogold until this summer when I rode with a buddy to Chicago, thought it was great. Didn't realize she was playing at lollapalooza until after i went, wouldn't have minded seeing how she is live
