Really surprised neither Ralph or Cameron have made a thread on this yet, so I thought I'd start it, lol. Anyway this is the debut album from Santogold, a new artist, who has drawn comparisons to the brilliant M.I.A. I really recommend this to anyone - a brilliant fusion of dub, pop, punk, hip-hop, electronica and rock in a sonically electic and deeply compelling album, full of energy and rhythym with deep yet accessible lyrics. Every song sounds different, each borrowing from different elements of music however the album as a whole is a cohesive triumphant body of work, certainly worth your time. If you want a flavour of the album - check out the second single L.E.S. Artistes which I think is the most accessible song on the album. Take the plunge people, you won't regret it.

Santi rocks! (not as much as Maya though). I am almost 100% sure Santi will be one of the most critically acclaimed artists of 2008.
