    Santogold by Santogold, all three of them..

    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!

    9 out of 10

    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
