...it’s about standing up for “the things that I believe in.” But the video leaves me wondering what exactly Santogold believes in. Santogold, perhaps best described as an up-and-comer, is known for her electric beats layered with smooth vocals. While some of her music makes you feel like you’re in a club and on the verge of seizures, her new song, “L.E.S. Artistes,” has a relaxed pace and silky sound.
