After hitting all the Ones To Watch spots at the start of the year Santogold looks set to confirm the hype with her first single ‘LES Artistes’.

Clever and insightful lyrics, the use of old sparse analogue sounds filled with gentle guitar strumming - in ‘L.E.S Artistes’ Santogold has created a straight out of the box pop track that sounds like the best of a 21st century Debbie Harry.The single sets the tone for forthcoming album ‘Santogold’ due 12th May. It features a guest appearance from Spank Rock's Naeem and is produced by Santi and friends, including FreQNasty, Diplo, Switch, John Hill and Disco D. The album is packed to the rafters with innovative pop tracks taking in new wave, dub, rock, pop, reggae, baile funk and proves Santogold is a truly electric original who will own 2008.Santogold announces her next UK date, Eat Your Own Ears at the Scala, London June 3rd.
