Review: A$AP Rocky – LongLiveA$AP

January 24, 2013 9 comments

…drop of a hat; all affixed into one opening, two song suite. Now, to preface my next point, the only two songs on LLA I see as too weak, or plain bad, to be present here are “Hell”, featuring a lost and phoned-in Santigold, and the seemingly purpose-less “Fashion Killa”. So, a song like “PMW (All I Really Need)”, being the solid album cut it is, has its place, just not as the third track to ease out of a stell…

MP3: MØ – “Pilgrim”

October 8, 2012 5 comments

#NP. Grimes is big and you know what? MØ is next. Indie pop MØ is the latest import from Europe (Copehnhagen, more specifically) to infiltrate your ears. “Pilgrim” is an electronic pop of perfection fused with soulful synths and melodies. Influences include Sonic Youth, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Major Lazer, Santigold, J Dilla, Twin Shadow, Little Dragon and Lykke Li. Convinced yet? If not, I haven’t properly done my job but don’t…


Video: Santigold – “The Keepers”

July 3, 2012 No comments yet

Santigold’s new video for “The Keepers” is a rather scathing cultural critique. Some of the song’s lyrics get disturbingly literal visuals and worst of all, a milk man loses his life too soon. Look closely for a sneaky cameo from the GZA. Master Of My Make-Believe is out now….


MP3: Santigold – The Keepers (The Knocks Remix)

June 22, 2012 No comments yet

Electronic duo and fellow New Yorkers The Knocks teased us earlier this week on their Facebook that they release a a free remix just because they’re nice like that. Even better, they delivered. It turns out they remixed one of my favorite tracks from Santigold’s latest Master of My Make Believe. Leave it to The Knocks to make an already infectious song that much more memorable and weekend appropriate. Take this one with you this week…

Stream Santigold’s New Album “Master of My Make-Believe”

April 18, 2012 No comments yet

Fresh off her Coachella stint, Santigold dropped the full stream for her upcoming album, Master of My Make-Believe, on soundcloud today with one major caveat, it’s region locked to play in the UK only due to the album dropping earlier over there. I’m in the Caribbean and can listen to it just fine (Colonial Nepotism?), but just a warning for US fans, you aren’t going to have access right away, but I will update as soon as that&…
