  • She's been away for flipping ages, climbing mountains, visiting Somalian refugees in Ethiopia, and figuring out how to follow up her fresh and brilliant 2008 debut. We took our camera to meet Santigold to talk about her new album Master Of My Make-Believe, the amusingness of bodily gasses, why she hasn't had a number one single yet and all our usual nonsense about animals and stuff. We look forward to interviewing her again in another four years!
    Santigold - Master Of My Make-Believe is out now.

    She is an intelligent, smart, beautiful, talented, Black woman. Finally, an artist that has something to say in their music. I think she is awesome.

      Is it really necessary to make a point of her skin color? We know that she's intelligent, smart and beautiful but if you want to get technical she's half Mexican. Either way we're modern humans for fuck sake - we all have different skin color. Some of us come from good homes, some from bad homes, some are smart, some not so much and some continue to point out race which continues to separate everyone else.
      Santi, i'm just another humanoid who has loved your music since the day i heard it and i'm pink with purple polka dots. Please say hi to your white husband for me.

    I’ve been listening to Santigold for a year now. I love her music so much!! This is the first interview of her I have ever seen, and she is incredibly intelligent and levelheaded. It’s a shame that people like this don’t make it to #1 anymore, but I agree completely with what she said. Her songs will be in my memory for the rest of my life reminding me of this time right now. Much love!! Xx

    she's really insightful and down to earth, I'm definitely becoming a bigger fan having seen a bit of her personality and thoughtfulness. Most of the time I hear from musicians I like and I'm disappointed by their lack of articulation, especially when it comes to self awareness.

    Also, English is not MIA's first langauge, though she communicates fluently, she first learned to think in a different language and that can make a person communicate differently.

    They have extremely different backgrounds. Santigold came from a privileged American background- father was a lawyer and she went to a prep school, and MIA was a refugee who moved from different countries and lived in government housing. Also, and I think this is the BIGGEST difference, MIA is first and foremost a visual artist. And in my experience, there are often gaps between what they see and think to what they can verbalize. That is inherently why they are visual artists in the first place

  • @JordanjamesX
    @JordanjamesX 11 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I like Santigold because she's a black female artist that is showing the word she isn't stereotypical or what people automatically think a black female musician should be. Santigold is an intelligent woman and she refuses to be categorized as an R&B artist which is not fair her music crosses many genres!

    4:29 Creator was a no. 1 single..bonafide. For whatever reason, the top companies insure that Justin Bieber, Beyonce, Taylor Swift, Katy Perry and Gaga pretty much dominate the rotation. I just think she was ahead of the curve, very difficult to market. L.E.S. Artiste was one of Rolling stone's singles of the year, yet it was unnoticed. She's very particular about art work, and it is opposite of A&R position strategy.
