Summary: Hot, Hot, Hot!
Comment: An arresting set of varied material, done in imaginative production stances, this "dance fever" set catches fire from the onset and only occasionally lets go. A refreshing set of material that can be a real treat to see live. One can only imagine the stage shows! This set seems like some of the missing outtakes of the Talking Heads subset (minus David Byrne), The Tom Tom Club. A world beat/reggae treat. Definitely one of the CDs of the year.

Summary: Not just an excellent debut album. Santogold's debut album!
Comment: When I first listened Santogold, I thought it was a new album by the Yeah yeah Yeah's (as the radio station DJ's), L.E.S. Artistes caught my attention as a great song, and with the feature this guys of 94.7 FM here in Portland called "Track Seven" they played several tracks from this album. That was enough to convince me it was a good album.
What I got to listen was far from what I expected, not only a great album, but something unique I never heard before. There is no song alike, no song I dislike and no song that does not fit perfectly in here.
We have the opening "L.E.S. Artistes" with very direct lyrics, an amazing video and a catchy tune in the chorus.
The next track "You'll Find a Way", something more moving with influences of both alternative and R&B, a nice tune, catchy and great, the same applies for the remix at the end of the album, that does not sounds like the original version.
"Shove it" sounds more R&B to me, with a tune that will make you move at the rythm of the song.
"Say Aha" makes you continue to dance with a more moving tune, this song has again influences of different kinds, I suggest a new "Santogold" category of music should be created for these songs.
"Creator" is what I like to call TLC meets Beck. A tune from both alternative and R&B, a weird song that at the end, is one of the best of the album. The voice loops are stunning and funny to listen in here.
"My Superman" slows downs a little with something more to listen rather to dance. The song catch your attention with a very intense vocals and tunes that are extremely catchy.
"Light out" is a song I can't get out of my head. Pure alternative in this song, with a chorus that is catchy than any other song and a video that is simple, yet funny. This song has become my mood-lifting song replacing Goldfrapp's Satin Chic in that position.
"Starstruck" is probably the song I kind of misunderstood at the beginning, after several times listening to it I finally liked, the intense bass in this song make this slow song one of those you wanna put the bass in your car stereo all the way up. As same as My Superman, a song you'll enjoy listening.
"Unstoppable" is catchy from beginning to end. A funny chorus with those "e,e,e,eh!" that has caught the attention of all the people who I have put to listen to this song. Another of my favorites.
"I'm a Lady" is not slow or fast. Just a beautiful song that a fan of alternative music will enjoy listening to, I love the drums on this songs.
"Anne" or the "howling" song. A nice way to almost close the album, a song extremely unique and very different from the album's concept, a tune that starts slow and then accelerates makes this song excellent. I call it the howling song because the auuuuu's that she uses during the song.
So far, this is one of the best albums of my life, not only this year. A unique album that surprised me when I thought that good music was gone. A must have in your collection, like the music you like, any kind, you will love Santogold!
