Premiere: Santigold - Banshee

Yes, yes, yes - new Santigold! She makes us so happy with her new music. Not even a Banshee can stop us from having a good time to this brand new single. So far all offerings from upcoming album 99¢ have been stellar and this fun and sharp track is no exception. It's rowdy and cool, energetic and goes all out. Love! 

Video Premiere: Santigold - Chasing Shadows

Gah, we're crazy 'bout Santigold's new album era! 99¢ is out on February 26th and what we've heard so far is amazing. Brand new Chasing Shadows is no exception. It's wonderfully laid back and groovy with a big heart. Not to mention how Santi's characteristic voice really gets to shine in the flawless production signed Vampire Weekend's Rostam Batmanglij. So well crafted of the two! The video is equally as thrilling. Lovin' the retro design of it all and how calm and yet so lurking. All in all - top marks! 

Premiere: Santigold Feat. B.C. - Can't Get Enough Of Myself

New Santigold and she's so badass! Next year sees the release of her brand new album 99¢ and we're beyond excited! First taster is the breezy retro tinged Can't Get Enough Of Myself featuring B.C. - hell yes! Love the stuttering vocal delivery and how upbeat it is. Make sure to listen to the interview following the track where Santi tells her ideas behind the album to Zane Lowe. So good to have her back! 

Premiere: Santigold - Radio (Paper Towns OST)

We loooove Santigold so holy moly - here's a brand new track from her! Hopefully this means a new album is the works. *death drops* Radio is taken from the OST to the Paper Towns movie starring Nat Wolff and Cara Delevingne and opens next month. Radio is characteristically Santi White with her powerful vocals with those gorgeous sharp edges and a belter of a chorus. The production is tight yet rough and we love how the drums compete with the focus of the song. They rumble and is serving life! Enjoy!
