A few years ago I wrote a paper in which I discussed and subsequently dissected the current state of women in hip-hop. I eventually came to the conclusion that my fellow gender counteparts were about to take back what was rightfully theirs. The reasoning behind this you ask? Well that's easy, her name is Santigold. Santigold (formerly Santogold) released her debut album in 2008 and that shit was all kinds of cray. It blended everything from reggae to indie pop and featured some of the industries biggest names, including Diplo and Switch. She co-wrote and produced the entire [...]

James Mercer and The Shins to release Port Of Morrow on March 20, their first album in six years. Now that we've had our first real viable candidate for arbitrary year-end lists, it's time to look at some other releases on the near horizon that hold that kind of potential. Since the world is supposed to end in May or something, we won't look beyond* that. Joining the excellent Cloud Nothings' Attack On Memory are anticipated releases from The Shins, Dirty Projectors, Sleigh Bells, Sharon [...]
Loving the stuff coming from Santigold these days. Studio Brussel is playing the new Spank Rock ft. Santigold "Car Song" frequently which always get me in a good mood. The new Spank Rock album, which is produced by Boys Noize, is also worth checking out by the way! Back to Santigold, her latest single "Big Mounth" got produced by Switch and Buraka Som Sistema, this second one I guessed immediately after listening to the first 10 seconds, you'll get why. Check out the single as a free download below! Santigold - Big Mouth

African c0uple Amadou Bagayoko and Mariam Doumbia are preparing to release a new album that feature guest contributions from TV On The Radio, Nick Zinner of Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Theophilus London, and Santigold, among others. The album, which was largely recorded in New York, has deciperhable Middle Eastern, Indian, and African influences with a touch of good old rock 'n' roll. It starts off with a low-driving pulse and plods along its bottled momentum until it pops with Santigold's inflamed vocals. The Malian husband and wife duo, who are both blind, have tapped into a medium of the universal language. It's [...]
The long-awaited follow-up to Santigold's 2008 debut, a new album called Master of My Make Believe, ss due for release this spring on Atlantic Records. The surreal and half-animated video for the new single from the record, "Big Mouth", was produced by Major Lazer's Switch and Buraka Som Sistema. The video was directed by Cody Critcheloe of Ssion. It showcases Santigold's slightly off kilter side with the bizarre animations and wierd dancing, but is some watch! Santigold - Big Mouth on MUZU . Check out other MUZU.TV [...]
Santigold - Big Mouth This definitely has some bonkers M.I.A. influence to it. I like the production (especially that frenetic hook), but I wish there was a little more focus on melody. Still, a promising return. B Alexandra Burke - Elephant I would have never expected such a lush, electronic sound from Burke. It's a pleasant diversion from the more straightforward pop of her debut. In fact, it doesn't sound anything like her. She's following trends, but this totally works. A- [...]

Santigold war die eklektischste Newcomerin von 2008. In diesem Jahr meldet sich die Amerikanerin mit ihrem zweiten Album zurück. Vor vier Jahren hat Santigold M.I.A. den Thron als Königin des Bastard-Pop streitig gemacht. Das Debüt von Santi White brachte Dancehall, R&B, HipHop, Punk und Electro zusammen. Von sporadischen Kollaborationen abgesehen war es darauf lange still um die Newcomerin aus Philadelphia, die sich aufgrund eines Rechtsstreits von Santogold zu Santigold umbenennen musste. Nun hat Santigold ihr zweites Album eingespielt. An „Master of my Make-Believe" mitgewirkt haben Dave Sitek von TV [...]

Album number two from the SANTIGOLD has a name .. MASTER OF MY MAKE-BELIEVE .. and got a release date of Spring 2012. Recorded in Jamaica town, the LP was co-produced by the DAVE SITEK (of the TV ON THE RAD fame) and includes the works of the KAREN O, the Q-TIP and the SANTIGOLD.

OK, while there are still a few hours left in Monday I thought it would be a good time to fire up a few new tunes that I've been digging for the past few days. The first track is by an artist I know more or less nothing about, and I'm feeling a bit too tired/lazy to do any research. Tell you what, if you like the tune too (and I'm pretty sure you will) then could you do some fact finding for me and give me a brief synopsis of their career to date? You're the [...]

Santigold announced that the follow-up of Santogold would be out in spring 2012. It was recorded in part in Jamaica. She described her forthcoming album as "sonically eclectic but with some epic curveballs thrown into the mix". We waited and waited. I have a song called "The Keepers": "we're the keepers, while we sleep in America our house is burning down". "Big Mouth," the first track and video from the album was issued in late just a week ago. So, click below for the name of the new album! Master Of My Make-Believe [...]
Artist: Santigold Genre: Electronic, Hip-hop Myspace Facebook Twitter MIA and Santigold could technically be interchangeable; yet, there's a huge difference between the two: pure energy. Santigold brings it — HARD. While MIA has… well gone MIA in the past year or so, Santigold has continued to stay somewhat in the spotlight over the years. Always finding great ways to utilize electronic music, Santigold's style is kept fresh. No cobwebs there! And with a new album coming up soon, there's no reason to [...]

This week wasn't entirely positive—Etta James passed away and the reaction to SOPA had us all worrying about our internet freedom being revoked. But chin up, there were plenty of good things happening over here at P&P. Here are some of our favorites from the week: Miike Snow's "Paddling Out" One of the catchiest songs we've heard in a minute. Welcome back, Miike Snow. A Few Ways That Lana Del Rey Could Stop All The Hate Even Brian Williams is hating on Lana after [...]

Well, this is bizarre. Here I was about to post a simple video embed and brief song summary, then call it a night... ...but it turns out there's a little more going on with the new song from Brooklyn's Santigold , possibly involving (but not limited to) monsters, Ke$ha, surgical enhancement, fish, Lady GaGa, that fake lesbian one with the lips , and the vacuous world of pop music in general [...]
