Santigold Releases New Song: “Big Mouth”

Posted in Album Update, Music News, Song Download with tags Master of My Make-Believe, Santi White, santigold, Santogold on Thursday, January 19, 2012 by Eric Gilardi

Santigold has finally named her much-anticipated second album Master of My Make-Believe. This album took awhile to write because she is such a perfectionist and her hands are on every aspect of her music. Santi White is the Queen B of the operation that used to go by the name of Santogold until a supposed legal allegation came about and forced the name change.

The “Big Mouth” video was released yesterday and features her famous militant dancers. These dancers are why I enjoyed the Santigold show as much as I did back in the Summer of 2009. “Big Mouth” is also available on her site for download. All you have to do is sign up for her mailing list and if you have ever listened to her music, that is a no brainer.

There isn’t much that could be said about the lovable enthusiastic crowd-pleasing performance from Santigold at First Avenue this Thursday (May 28, 2009) that wasn’t recapped already. Santi’s main man Jon Jon (..same dude that got that extended shout out from the stage; seriously how’s she know know that well, man?) compiled a great list of links of people who have already reviewed the night, so I’m doing my best to bring something unique to you all.

As such, here’s my view from the night via video and photos, right from the middle of the dance floor; somewhat out of my element, I’ll just say that I was made to feel right at home amongst the flailing arms and sweat bodies by the time the show hit full stride. We’ll start things off with “Creator”, and get this MPLS internet dance party started like no other….

Steve Aoki Gives N.A.S.A. the Remix Treatment on “Gifted”

N.A.S.A‘s more than audacious project of an album Spirt of Apollo has been polarizing to this point. It’s not quite a hip-hop album, it’s not quite the electro album it tries to be at points either.

Here is where doctor Steve Aoki steps in to cure the problem. Taking what is arguably the album’s best track “Gifted” featuring Kanye West, Santogold, and Lykke Li, Aoki gives the song a strong does of banging electro medicine. Turning many of the choruses into mashed-up tweaked-out bass-ladened masterpieces, Aoki delivers once again. I’ve heard endless amounts of Aoki production, mixes, and remixes already, but I have to say that this might be his strongest to date.

Aoki is able to make “Gifted” sound like it was always this dirty European techno track, going back and listening to the original is almost a let down knowing that it never reaches the peak that Aoki takes it to in this remix. If you enjoy anything in this line of work, it’s worth checking out for sure. Enjoy!
