You might have never heard of Santogold but I can almost guarantee you’ve heard her music in commercials video games and other forms of subconscious intrigue.

I first ran across her on Kanye West’s excellent blog (Kanyeuniversecity) when he posted her music video for L.E.S. Artistes. I was shocked. It was a play on Alejandro Jodorowsky’s “Holy Mountain”, she was black and didn’t feel the need to mimic the ghetto ignorance that plagues today’s music. I had to know more. Luckily her first album came out soon after that. 

Santogold lived up to the promise of L.E.S. Artistes and provided me with so much more. She has a voice like Gwen Stefani and isn’t afraid to stray into other genres. Pick it up today!

Recommended songs:

Every song on the album! They just flow so well together.

5/5 Stars
