Macktronic: MUSIC: Santogold

Another artist that has peaked my interest of late is Santogold. Granted, there's a risk of hypelash, but I think most of the gushing comments are justified. To me, she's an amalgam of Karen O and M.I.A., which is a fairly high compliment. Smart lyrics, unique delivery, and a wide array of strong beats is always a winning combination. Here are the tracks that are currently floating around the interweb.

::: Santogold - Creator
::: Santogold - Creator (Scottie B Remix)
::: Santogold - L.E.S. Artistes
::: Santogold - L.E.S. Artistes (XXXchange Remix)
::: Santogold - Shove It (Switch Remix)
::: Santogold - Shove It (KMFX Remix)

Her new album drops on April 22nd via Downtown Records. Also, check out her live performance at a FADER party here.
