I've been thinking a lot about Santigold's new album, Master of My Make-Believe , recently. For a while, I was listening to it a lot, too, but that phase is over. And the fact that I lost interest in the album is more or less the reason why I've been thinking about it so much. Here's the thing: I can't remember the last time a pop musician, especially one of fairly prominent (although, as I will remind you later, not that prominent) stature, made such a big deal -- and subsequently, such a big a problem -- [...]
Santigold's greatest strength lies in the rich diversity of her sonic palette, and she delves deep into that range of creative sources throughout this album. In the mercurial hyper-reality of internet music culture, four years can feel like an eternity. Yesterday's over-hyped 'next big thing' quickly becomes today's snarky punchline -- think Lana Del Ray -- or simply falls victim to our ever shortening memories and attention spans. Four years ago, Santi White's debut album as Santogold, with the impossibly catchy hooks of "L.E.S. Artistes" and "Lights Out", rode a wave of internet adulation to near universal critical and [...]
Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News Jason Merritt Getty Images This May Day marks the release of Santigold 's sophomore effort, Master of My Make-Believe , an album that arrives a full four years after her debut. The Philly-born, Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter has been away a long time -- not long enough to lose her relevance or miss out on the globalist-maximus, all-genre pop moment she helped usher into being, but long enough, it turns [...]
Jonah Bromwich advises you to treat yo' self. A little while back, candidate Leslie Knope, aspiring city councilwoman and deputy director of the Pawnee Parks and Recreation department learned a valuable lesson. After being upstaged by an opponent at a fundraising opportunity, she complained that her idea (ramps for seniors) had come first, before her opponent’s “electric lifts for seniors” plan. Her opponent responded, “You know what people don’t care about? They don’t care about whose idea was first. They care about whose idea was best.” I don’t know if Terius Nash or [...]
Santigold made quite a dazzling appearance at the opening of the Transmission LA: AV Club at MOCA last night. This special audio/visual experience is curated by Mike D (of the Beastie Boys) and will feature special music guests over the next 17 days as well as a great art installation featuring Sage Vaughn, L.A. locals [...]
![Listen: Santigold - Disparate Youth [EP Preview]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4139771_lg.jpg)
Words: Saam Das I was sat in the gym the other day, generally bemoaning the annoying behaviour of my fellow gym-goers. Then 'Les Artistes' by Santigold came on and I remembered the glory days of 2008. Back then, Santi White was known as Santogold before potential legal problems led to a name change. She's been relatively dormant since then but is now back with the 'Disparate Youth' EP. [...]

Santigold has released another single from her forthcoming album, Master of My Make Believe . “Disparate Youth” was produced by Santigold and Ricky Blaze, and is described as a track that is a contemporary rebel song with a new spin on punk & reggae, which underscores its message of pushing through all roadblocks and claim “a life worth fighting for.” Last month Santigold released the video and MP3 for “Big Mouth”, featuring the singer as she calls out all trash-talkers on “Big Mouth,” with a schoolyard taunt melody backed by an explosive carnival beat that will [...]

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 [...]
A battle cry disguised as a club banger bathed in primary colors.
K'naan and Santigold always have a solid flow and their own unique style. They each have come out with new tracks in the last week that I'm really enjoying. Check out their videos below, and you can DL Santigold's new track on her website . K'naan's new EP "More Beautiful Than Silence" is out digitally now - a great EP followup to his Troubadour success. I love each of their vibes in general, usually wavering between positive and upbeat with a slightly aggressive, take-no-prisoners flavor. They relax but amp me up - which is always a theme of [...]

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 [...]
