Santogold - L.E.S Artistes single and Santogold album
After hitting all the Ones To Watch spots at the start of the year Santogold looks set to confirm the hype with her first single 'LES Artistes'. Previously released as a limited 12" with club favourite 'Creator' last autumn, it was only a matter of time before it was given the chance to shine alone, and it gets that chance 5th May 2008.
The perfect introduction to an exceptionally versatile and exciting new act, 'L.E.S Artistes' cements Santogold as the freshest sounding pop artist we've heard in a long time.
Clever and insightful lyrics, the use of old sparse analogue sounds filled with gentle guitar strumming - in 'L.E.S Artistes' Santogold has created a straight out of the box pop track that sounds like the best of a 21st century Debbie Harry.
The single sets the tone for forthcoming album 'Santogold' due 12th May 2008. It features a guest appearance from Spank Rock's Naeem and is produced by Santi and friends, including FreQNasty, Diplo, Switch, John Hill and Disco D. The album is packed to the rafters with innovative pop tracks taking in new wave, dub, rock, pop, reggae, baile funk and proves Santogold is a truly electric original who will own 2008

Oliver, Young Knives: ilikemusic because... It evokes a mood and a feeling of when you last heard the track.
Ellen, Los Campesinos: ilikemusic because... It’s the best form of escapism that you can have wherever you are. You could be completely miserable or waiting for a bus and put on any song that inspires you and you can escape into a little world, well that’s what I tend to do anyway.
O'Bailey: ilikemusic because... I can live vicariously through a song, whether it's a screaming angry rock anthem or a silly kids song ("I'm a little yellow fish" anyone?) haha!
Robyn: ilikemusic because... It’s the way I want to express myself. It’s not a choice. It’s just always been there. It’s just what I do.

Jez, Utah Saints: ilikemusic because... It’s very good for the soul.
Lupe Fiasco: ilikemusic because... It gives me a chance to escape and reach people I wouldn’t ordinarily be able to reach. And without music the world would be kinda quiet.
Alison Moyet: ilikemusic because... No one gets to choose mine for me.
Ryan, OneRepublic: ilikemusic because... It is the soundtrack to my life every day.
