Santogold’s style has been defined as a mix of dub, electronic, indie rock, new wave, and punk rock.

The next single, easily one of my faves from the album (along with 'I'm A Lady and 'Shove It') and hopefully it will bring her another Top 40 hit. :o Alsooo, I highly reccomend you listen to her amazing Live Lounge cover of 'Hometown Glory' which can be heard/downloaded here. :wub:

The song is f***ing amazing :o only just heard it today

How No Doubt is this? :mellow: Shockingly similar.

 

Still amazing though, I really want to see the video ^_^

I just watched the video, can't hear the song now I lost my headset. It looks good to hear though.

Definitely my favourite from the album.

Love the artwork too :heart:

Boring near-inaudible song with an equally boring song. It only exists because it has to.

well i've it played late on my local radio indie show - but apart from that - it feels like nobody really cares anymore - like the album come out - thats the end of the obsession..do you get that feeling with acts too?

:wub: Love this now haha. Tis so cute.

 

The label gave it no push so nothing happened. :(

 

She was phenomenal at Readingg.

She'll be like M.I.A. I think - critical acclaim the first time around but no huge success until the second time. She'll be much bigger when she next comes back...

Ah, I wish I could've seen :(

Did this end up doing anything chart-wise? :(

#183 for the week ending 16 August 2008 , was that the week before release?

What's the next single? HMV have it listed for an October 13th release but it just says Santogold - TBC. I heard it was going to be Say Aha.

It most likely will be the wonderful Creator. Which besides Shove It has the best shot to hit top 40 again.

 

If only Radio 1 discovered how both her & M.I.A. are completely "in" by the general public at this point. :rolleyes:
