Even if Santogold and MIA are good friends, that doesnt mean that have to sound the same. When I heard Santo’s songs before I saw her face, I thought MIA had some new music.
I dont necessary want my best friend to copy my style.
(yeah, I’m a MIA fan!)

This song is ok. I’d have to hear what else she’s got.
I do love that she helping to bring more variety to hiphop..

Ouch Beauty Q.T. how did I miss your comment yesterday?
the jay song should be hot

I like how different santogold is…its a breath of fresh air but i’m not a fan of her vocals…doesn’t do anything for me. but she’s cool

i love rock music and she isnt hitting it for me….

Being a teenager in the 80s I can totally appreciate Santogold. Her sound reminds me of groups like Bow Wow Wow, Siouxsie and the Bandshees, Cyndi Lauper, The Cure and the Go-Gos with an urban feel. She along with Solange and Janelle are brining back creativity, individuality, quirkiness and raw talent. Thank God the booty shaking, non/over singing wannabee diva is almost on its way out.

I can’t seem to bring myself to listen to her cuz she just looks so sloppy to me…..Im not hating!! Im just not feeling her look so I can’t listen to her…..i’m not gonna be like most of y’all and say i love her just because the people on concrete loop like her!!!!!

I been feelin Santogold, LES Artist, Say Aha, and Youll Find A Way get constant repeat on the IPod.

TARGET COMMERCIAL!!

I don’t understand, honestly. I’ve been hearing this for months…commercials, right? Old Navy, I think. Maybe Target. But I’m just not familiar with the sound…I like it and I wish I knew enough to judge, but I don’t. But I’m glad she’s featured on this site…

It’s gonna be interesting to watch the curve of Santogold’s success, since so many black listeners have a closed-minded “Urban” ear (see Beauty Q. T.), while so many “Alternative” listeners find her particular brand subpar (Devron)…

Also, consider this: M.I.A. and Santogold are friends and colleagues who share production talent on a lot of projects. No one complains about the similarities in Boosie and Webbie’s music, or the parallels that can be drawn between a T.I. song and one from Young Dro. It’s not Santi’s fault if she and Maya are the only Artists of their ilk with which you are familiar. However it is, unfortunately, her problem.

creavtive and different. i like her based off of those traits alone. song w/ jay z should be dope indeed.
