santogold:im.a.lady.
Santogold's album Santogold is vivaciously living up to all of my expectations. I've been waiting around to hear it since I heard her original single L.E.S. Artistes (and the fantastic accompanying music video by Nima Nourizadeh) a few months ago. Now with a whole platter of Santogold songs on my lap, my ears are joyously rolling around in a bed of classic guitar riffs, unexpected electro beats, and Santogold's rad-ass voice. Like a female fusion of Pixies tossed with a few dubs from M.I.A. and topped with some modern sprinkles of The Police, Santogold is worth the listen.
Not to mention, I'm A Lady is my theme song of the month.

I got the impression that L.E.S. Artistes was kind of a b-side because I swear the single they were pushing was Creator... but they're both really good, I'd say arguably the best two tracks on the album.
Santogold is so fresh and complex in its diversity across the album. I definitely think that L.E.S. Artistes and Creator are some of the best tracks... but I'm now a repeat listener to I'm A Lady, and when she howls in Anne I get chills.
The first Santogold song I heard was Creator, on a commercial for something, I thought it was a brilliant new MIA track XD
'I'm A Lady' is definitely reminiscent of Pixies work, especially the bass which is pure Kim Deal :)
I really liked this album and the influences didn't take away from my enjoyment
as it was a good mix. I do hope on the next album she'll find more of her voice as this is a very impressive start.
