Lights Out

She has Jay-Z, Beastie Boys and David Byrne queuing up to work with her, but even Santi White gets melancholy sometimes. This follow-up to ‘LES Artistes’ reveals a much more sweet and introspective side to the Philly singer while maintaining her trademark ability to pen fuzzy riff-driven choruses that creep into your consciousness and stay put forever.

Santogold is definitely someone to keep an eye on. All of her songs I've heard are ridiculously catchy. She's capable of making the most unique sounds with her voice. It's hard to not like her so much.

I think this is something else...this girl is amazing, i'm sure you agree? Her sound is quite retro with a twist...
