Our review:

Item Description:
'The future of music, today' - Rolling Stone 10 Artists To Watch. 'Singing in a haunting, sensual wail...she adds a layer of softness to an unusual mix of synthesizers, dance hall rhythms, and percolating new wave' - NY Times. 'Future-pop princess...next big thing' - Spin. 'Santi White is Santogold...the collaborators and players may change, the sounds may shift, but at the center is one woman's indelible vision' - The Fader. SXSW / Coachella shows, 2007 tours with Bjork, M.I.A., songs featured in Entourage, Grey's Anatomy, Grand Theft Auto.

Amazon.co.uk:
Don't call Santi White an R&B artist: on her debut album Santogold, this former music biz A&R and pop songwriter for hire is challenging race stereotypes and playing fast and loose with genre, mashing up dub, punk, and electronics to make an energetic, anger-fuelled music that blurs the lines between the dancefloor and the moshpit. Comparisons to MIA hold some water, especially on the bullish 'Creator' (it's worth noting that Santogold features production turns from sometime MIA collaborators Diplo and Switch). For the most part, though, Santogold's debut follows a quite different path. 'L.E.S Artists' is stirring new-wave pop that builds to grand, tearful choruses reminiscent of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, while 'You'll Find a Way' and 'Say Aha' are propulsive ska-pop numbers that hark back to its creator's previous band, Bad Brains-influenced punks Stiffed. But it's not just skilful genre-skipping to recommend this record, though: White is the rare vocalist that can sound empowered and vulnerable within the space of the same song, and it's her force of character that places Santogold ahead of the pack. --Louis Pattison

Buyer Testimonials
Average Buyer's Review:  out of 5 stars

Buyer's review: 5 out of 5 stars - Hot tracks!!!!
Amazon referred me to Santogold based on my music purchases and I'm so glad they did. The music and lyrics are just what I was looking for...you'll be singing along to all the tracks in no time. I'm definitely a fan.



Buyer's review: 5 out of 5 stars - Hot, Hot, Hot!
An arresting set of varied material, done in imaginative production stances, this "dance fever" set catches fire from the onset and only occasionally lets go. A refreshing set of material that can be a real treat to see live. One can only imagine the stage shows! This set seems like some of the missing outtakes of the Talking Heads subset (minus David Byrne), The Tom Tom Club. A world beat/reggae treat. Definitely one of the CDs of the year.



Buyer's review: 5 out of 5 stars - Gonna go big!
I'm surprised she hasn't blown up yet...she will and the CD will go up in price!



Buyer's review: 4 out of 5 stars - Santi White
Great to do business with the seller! Item was brand new & just as described.
