详细介绍

Santagold去年被滚石列为十大期待的新人之首。出生自费城,在纽约布鲁克林发迹的Santogold 本名叫Santi White,爸爸是费城的已故名律师。小时候都念私校的黑人孩子,却选择了玩音乐,本来是躲在角落被欺负的小孩却因为这样而开始变成风云人物。Santi white曾经学过古巴、海地跟西非手鼓等。
在Santagold之前曾经组了一个庞客团Stiffed。Santogold是她跟同是Stiffed的团员朋友John Hill一起的二人组合,这首令人惊艳的the Creator单曲是改编重组自M.I.A.的专辑。滚石的报导,用一组方程式形容了Santogold的音乐像是M.I.A.乘上Yeah Yeah Yeahs的Karen O 加上80的synth pop键盘。
Last year, New York-based artist Santogold released one of 2007’s defining records, a double A-sided 12” single. One side, Creator, was an ultra modern, digital call to arms produced by London-based producers Switch and FreQ Nasty. The other, L.E.S Artistes, was a socking piece of new wave art rock with a mile high chorus which NME made single of the week. Now the extraordinary talent behind both tracks is ready to deliver her debut album, and it turns out that the dizzying diversity of the single was just a taster for the main event. Santogold’s eponymous first album is a collection which manages to be wildly eclectic without ever being incoherent. As sonically challenging and innovative a record as its roll call of cutting-edge collaborators (Diplo, Disco D, Sinden) would suggest, it reconfigures dub, new wave, rock, and electronic influences into something new and intoxicating, then attaches them to nuclear-powered pop tunes. “People are definitely ready for stuff which doesn’t fit into a genre,” says Santogold, in real life Philadelphia-born musician Santi White. “I want to create music that reflects me and all my influences. My dad took me to see shows as a child, like I saw Nina Simone and Fela Kuti with his 27 naked wives onstage; my older sister was always playing bad brains, the smiths and classic rock, and then at school people were listening to The Cure, U2 and Talking Heads.
