I believe in Santogold

Santogold is a breakout new artist who is trying to break the sonic boundaries. She grew up listening to Fela Kuti, James Brown, Led Zep, and Joni Mitchell. You can definitely hear it in her multi-talented 2008 eponymous album. It's only $5 on Amazon Music Store. It's totally a good deal for an hour of solid head nodding sound.

She's breaking down the walls to music, and I'm all for it:

I hope that I help break down boundaries and genre classifications. If I’m a black woman I’m just about singing R&B. I guess with those producers I’m supposed to be making club music.

Check out her mixtape with Diplo. My favorite song off of it is the remix to "I'm A Lady."

She got free points just for not doing R&B, but this is pretty interesting too. Thanks for sharing.

she's changed her name to Santigold. I don't know why.
