Santogold, 'Santogold'




















Rating 4 out of 5 Diamonds




SOUNDS LIKE: M.I.A. & Gwen Stefani


Delish. Love this album. Yes, it sounds like M.I.A. but she tours with her! It is nothing I haven't heard before, but it is tasty. Songs like 'You'll Find A Way', 'Creator' & 'Starstruck' will be stuck in your head for the rest of the day. Actually, Bud Light Lime actually uses 'Creator' and 'Lights Out' in their commercials. I was caught off guard since I just read the raves about her new album, then I buy it, and as I am listening to it, I hear it on TV. I can't wait to hear the remixes at the club, I'm sure they are on their way. I have absolutely played this out on my iPod. I feel 'cool' listening to it. I've pawned this cd off to friends of mine, and they all say the same thing 'She sounds like Gwen Stefani'. I could see it. But the 90's Gwen, not the crappy Japanese Gwen 2000. Her voice is introduced soft with mixed versions of her own vocals in the background. 'I'm A Lady' makes me feel pretty in pajamas. Militant verses makes her lyrics STICK in yo brain.

Highly recommended for any decent summer house party, hipsters are welcomed.
