I took Santogold[I Believe in Santogold and the self-titled] with me to work this morning[I throw the newspaper]. She's stylish, holds a great intelligence, and has a great aura of confidence about her manner. Mainstream music should take note of her, not to imitate her but take after her individualistic visions. Also, the Diplo mix[w/ Amanda Blank] of I'm a Lady is invigoratingly delicious.
Santigold is nothing like M.I.A. to me. I love that fact that she is a woman of color changing the boundaries. Not all women of color rap, and not all of women of color are video hos. She is so different. She mixes pop, rock, rap, and soul and I love her music! She is beautiful! I love her interviews because she acrtually has good conversation.
I understand why people might want to compare her and M.I.A. but I don't hear the similarities when I listen to their music. I think they're both great artists but I LOVE Santogold.
her and M.I.A. are different. People just want something to compare. They are very different if you REALLY LISTEN to them. They are both awesome and very attractive!
I heard the album, I think it's very good and if I had to categorize it in a single word it would be "eclectic", but I wouldn't be surprised to see it called "rock" or even "punk rock" though that wouldn't do it justice either.
Very different style and music....my gf was playing her CD and now I am hooked. I think if you love music even if you have preferences you should appreciate it. I love hip hop, soul, garage, house/trans and classical and people look at me funny..i looked at them as one dimensional. Great singer....
Amazing, talented & beautiful woman. Personally I don't get the MIA comparisons, although I like her too, but Santogold is in a league of her own...Love her album.
i don't think Santogold's in the same league as MIA... i think she can surpass MIA... MIA is pure reggae rap... Santogold is a variety of thrash, punk, hardcore, electronica, folkie country rap rock and reggae... i'm so excited for her album since i heard her on Grey's Anatomy, I thought, WOW I MUST HEAR MORE OF HER! glad she's getting out there.
Dont know who said shes from Brooklyn..but Santogold is definately born and raised in the streets of PHILLY..Mt.Airy to be specific.. Keep it real..not wrong!!
it really doesnt matter she is different its about time i dont want to say black but i ll say this i am happy black folks are coming out in other areas of music if i had more ppl that looked like me that loved being different maybe i would have turned out better. but it just shows that it is okay to be yourself i am loving this girl. and the shirt says it all like slayer but i love slipknot!!!
I think it sounds a little like tegan and sarah too that was the first thing I thought and thats not bad thing at all...The record is well crafted and very creative..I like it
man oh man. i LOVE santagold. but that one video is like wHAAAT is going on. but man she surprises me! i totally thought she was british! what an interesting surprise!
May I ask a queston? What does the way she talk have to do with her music? I'm just wondering. Because so many people get off track. I think she is fab. I love her and bands like The ting tings. They are bring back that awesome 80's pop punk vibe. And if you were wondering... yes I am a ybf. (young black female)
Stop trying to label her..and her music..just know its different and if you dont like it dont listen..what kills me is that ppl will waste time complaining about something and still stay here and listen or come back to add more to comments lol ...butanyway..I love Santogold!
It does sound like shes from the UK, I originally thought that. Then I was like "oh wow shes not lol". Thats pretty cool though. And yea it must be the unique falsetto she sings in.
try to listen to the music thst she says influences her and you'll prolly like them too...I am an 80's kid, and all her music has some sort of 80's group influence. It is kinda different the 80's is coming back!

Blown away! Something fresh, but still so familiar. She is fabulous!!
you got that right... saw M.I.A. last year at Bonnaroo (which was unreal), and I really hope to go this year so I can see Santogold!!
Her and MIA are so original. Ive NEVER heard anyone else like them. Both freaking amazing.
Real Talk.
We needed You.
Just discovered her.. and I lover her unique outlook on music!!
I'm so glad I discovered her. Can't wait for her next release.
Santogold is so great. I don't know what I was expecting her to be like, but she seems seriously cool.
I LOVE HER MUSIC!! unique and wonderful sound

WOW.. I thought it was tegan and sarah at first.. I am soo excited to hear all of Santogold!
She is wonderful! I just love the cd!!!

So amazing.

I agree it is so nice to see a black female artist break the mold of stereotypes. Santigold is doing her own thing you go girl!!!
I concur completely. Great comment
Same here the moment I heard it!
She's amazing... She's right, she's really like no other artist. So innovative.

She is awesome. Super talent.
Well, I looked at all the conversation that you two have PUBLICALLY on here and responded according to such. ;)

Never heard of Santogold til DaNcInG mAn...Sounded excellent LIVE
I could'nt agree with you more! LOL
I wish ones like her would be easier to find.
heyjo i really agree with!SHE IS VERY TALENTED AND CREATIVE.
Shes going to be huge....shes amazing
he voice in this song reminds me of the lead singer from the 80's group Missing Persons.. i think her name was Dale Bossio
GO SANTOGOLD!!!!
SHE IS AMAZING!
Her music is so amazing.. I'm just wishing for a second album at this point lol. I'm Not a Lady is maybe my favourite song by her.
im in love with her too shyt shes cool
right. that's why L.E.S. Artistes is one of the most popular songs right now.
LOVE THE sLAYER!!
Santigold is nothing like M.I.A. to me. I love that fact that she is a woman of color changing the boundaries. Not all women of color rap, and not all of women of color are video hos.

black women often have super unique voice. love it.
she's an amazing unique person peace
Thank you for doing something different!
I understand why people might want to compare her and M.I.A. but I don't hear the similarities when I listen to their music. I think they're both great artists but I LOVE Santogold.
Refreshing...Different...Boldly herself. She ruled the Beastie Boy's "Don't Play No Game That I Can't Win"
Well spoken individual
how is any type of music better than another. it all comes down to the person listening to it.
LOVE HERRRRRRRRRR
I didn't expect her to have this kind of accent. She just gained like +1,000 respect points from me. :3
she is awesome
her and M.I.A. are different. People just want something to compare. They are very different if you REALLY LISTEN to them. They are both awesome and very attractive!
she used to go to my school
her shirt is badassssssss!
she's so cool
SLAYER!!!!!!
amen to that.
I heard the album, I think it's very good and if I had to categorize it in a single word it would be "eclectic", but I wouldn't be surprised to see it called "rock" or even "punk rock" though that wouldn't do it justice either.
You are right..it's all about the environment you grew up in. I'm another black person who talks like her too.
WOW shes SLAYER fan thats tight.
Very different style and music....my gf was playing her CD and now I am hooked. I think if you love music even if you have preferences you should appreciate it. I love hip hop, soul, garage, house/trans and classical and people look at me funny..i looked at them as one dimensional. Great singer....
i didnt know she speaks like that, cuz her singing is like whoa!
Wow, she's cool! @nd i think the music video has a great climate. Her songs are (who would think) fresh, i mean, it's a new way of music styles.
SLAYER!
Amazing, talented & beautiful woman. Personally I don't get the MIA comparisons, although I like her too, but Santogold is in a league of her own...Love her album.
She's my new crush. Look how lovely she is aww
She's has a great camera presence.
i don't think Santogold's in the same league as MIA... i think she can surpass MIA...
MIA is pure reggae rap...
Santogold is a variety of thrash, punk, hardcore, electronica, folkie country rap rock and reggae...
i'm so excited for her album since i heard her on Grey's Anatomy, I thought, WOW I MUST HEAR MORE OF HER! glad she's getting out there.

she's rockin a Slayer shirt, so rad...LOL
She actually produced a female r&b artist around 2000 called "Res", check it out..good stuff.
Love that she's wearing a Slayer tshirt.
she is fuckin amazing.
in some of her songs she does
that's cool, man. I also appreciate those who aren't afraid to be who they are...stereotypes are stupid!!
Her album is just Golden!!! No pun intended
Agreed and that's pretty much it.
omg earlier before i saw this video, i had just noticed how similar her and m.i.a were just alike...
So comparable in fact that Santi is producing (at least in part), Devo's new album.
I think it sounds a little like tegan and sarah too that was the first thing I thought and thats not bad thing at all...The record is well crafted and very creative..I like it
I hear a Missing Persons (Dale Bozio) influence there for sure...rock on girl!
xoxo Peace xoxo
i luvv that hat she's rockiin, datz y i got one @ home lol =D
she actualy produced res album
man oh man. i LOVE santagold. but that one video is like wHAAAT is going on. but man she surprises me! i totally thought she was british! what an interesting surprise!
She;s good. A beautiful and talented woman.
"genre less" i like that term!!!! she truely is genre less!! i love her music!!
someone sent me 'The Creator' and I fell in love. nuff said.
May I ask a queston? What does the way she talk have to do with her music? I'm just wondering. Because so many people get off track. I think she is fab. I love her and bands like The ting tings. They are bring back that awesome 80's pop punk vibe. And if you were wondering... yes I am a ybf. (young black female)
She rocks! ;-)
Santogold can actualy sing!
I like the slayer shirt! :-)
Stop trying to label her..and her music..just know its different and if you dont like it dont listen..what kills me is that ppl will waste time complaining about something and still stay here and listen or come back to add more to comments lol ...butanyway..I love Santogold!
She sounds like Dale Bozio from Missing Persons!
wanna see tha two kolab...
It does sound like shes from the UK, I originally thought that. Then I was like "oh wow shes not lol". Thats pretty cool though. And yea it must be the unique falsetto she sings in.
she's DOPE..
try to listen to the music thst she says influences her and you'll prolly like them too...I am an 80's kid, and all her music has some sort of 80's group influence. It is kinda different the 80's is coming back!
gotcha.
gimmick? the more you type the harder it is for me to hold u in any esteem...but, we do agree on one thing...
by the way. She's from Philly.
I love Santi White. She's so legit.
nice slayer shirt girl! RAWK!
exactly, bluescarlet11 is definitely on a high school mentality to still think you have to dress a certain way to like a certain something
her voice reminds me of siouxsie sioux somtimes(siouxsie and the banshees)
