A record deal with Roc Nation, an appearance on new stand-out Beastie Boy's album Hot Sauce Committee Part 2, and songwriting for Christina Aguilera....what can't Santigold do? From the immense guest-appearance catalog under her belt and almost three years since her last full-length album release, the queen of unconventional pop is back again, this time with an album she claims is, "Peter Gabriel-big."
With one of the new album's tracks, "Go" fetauring Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeah's, leaked earlier this year, there is major talk about the not-yet-named album and its unbelieveably long list of collaboraters that helped with this record including--Diplo, Switch, Nick Zinner and Dave Sitek of TV on the Radio.
After her last album, Santogold, released in 2008, Santi has a lot of people and fans hoping that she will live up to expectations. In an interview with Paper Mag she talks new album and life after the release come Fall.
"For now, though, she's sequestered in the studio, finishing her album. Then it's back out on tour across Europe, sharing her new songs and learning to play them live. 'For me, writing songs is a cathartic process,' she says. 'I always say my songs are about myself. Some of them are meant to be almost like a pep talk. It takes a lot to put yourself out there like this. You need all the reinforcement you can get.'"
Check out the single "Go" leaked in April below:
What do you think about "Go"? Think Santi's new album will live up to her first?
