Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.As an A&R person who became an artist in her own right, Santi White is rock's equivalent of poacher-turned-gamekeeper – though it's hard to believe any of her former charges' work for Epic could have as explosive and dynamic a character as her own debut album.
Featuring collaborations with the likes of Diplo, Freq Nasty, Spank Rock and Switch, Santogold's music provides a bridge between indie-pop and cutting-edge dance modes, veering from the Pixies-esque guitar-pop of "Lights Out" to startling electronic mash-ups such as "Unstoppable" and "Anne".
In particular, tracks like the singles "Creator" and "L.E.S. Artistes" affirm her own creativity, the latter featuring her claim to be "an introverted excavator" – though if this is Santogold in introvert mode, who knows what kind of noise she might make when she becomes more extrovert?
Pick of the album:'I'm a Lady', 'L.E.S. Artistes', 'Say Aha', 'Creator', 'Lights Out'
