SANTOGOLD
“Santogold” (Business district): A-
Santogold - singer Santi Whiteness, who’s backed by a shape-shifting appeal of players and producers - hails from Brooklyn, but she sounds like she’s from, well, all over. Her debut spans the musical theater spectrum from fresh wave, ska and dancehall to electro-pop and indie rock. By turns she resembles M.I.A., Gwen Stefani and Martha
Davis of the Motels, but has also strong an identity of her possess to
reside in anyone else’s shadow. The end event is a risky, bizarre and much brilliant break up from cookie cutter convening. Download: “Starstruck.”
