I have been waiting for some time now for Santo Gold to release her first album. It was finally released this week and it does not disappoint in any way shape or form. It’s a genre-bending album in every sense drawing from be best of pop, 80′s, rasta, hip-hop and rock. I first herd Santo Gold on Mark Ronson’s album Version. Her single, titled ‘Pretty Green’ really jumped out and me and I made sure to make note of her and watch for what she did next. There has been buzz around her for a while now and she has been making appearances just about everywhere.
Her new album is self titled and full of good music from front to back to back to front. There aren’t really any really weak tracks on the album and that is always refreshing. Head over to her MySpace page for a listen or watch the video above to hear the first track from the new album. If you are feeling it like I am, its an easy download off of iTunes.
