A brash downtown sensibility and outspoken, empowered lyrics have defined Philly-born Santigold throughout her career, as she transformed from punk frontwoman to avant-garde chanteuse. Santi supplies underground heat to anthemic pop, her sharp tongue cutting like a knife through a genre-defying backdrop of reggae bass, post-punk jangle, and New Wave-style synths. Working with forward-thinking producers like Switch, Diplo, and Dave Sitek, she finds fresh ways to inject electronic pop with a dose of history, a bright color palette, and her own idiosyncratic, futuristic vision.
