Santigold at Northern Lights
Santigold performing in Australia last fall.
(Insert your own description of her genre) singer Santigold is playing Northern Lights May 12. Tickets go on sale this Friday (April 6). They're $25.
If you haven't heard Santigold, you've probably still heard Santigold. Songs off her debut album -- "L.E.S. Artistes," especially -- were pretty everywhere in 2008 and 2009. Since that album, she's toured and/or worked with all sorts of acts -- from Diplo to Coldplay to M.I.A. to Bjork to Jay-Z to Kanye to Karen O to The Lonely Island. (You should check your own discography -- she probably sang on one of your tracks.) As a writer for Stereogum recently remarked: "Santigold is the best, biggest pop star, and the perfect person to rep our pre-apocalyptic polyglot universe."
She has a new album coming out in May. There's a good chance you've already heard a single off it.
