The New Music

Last year, a bunch of us from MuchMusic caught Santogold’s performance in Toronto when she opened for Coldplay. Her set was super minimalistic but fun, and featured two fierce dancers who tore it up. Santo’s self-titled debut album was one of 2008’s best and made fans out of Jay-Z, Kanye West and Pharrell Williams. (Little known fact: she’s also co-written for Ashlee Simpson and Lily Allen.)

This year, the Brooklyn-based singer/songwriter/producer goes by the name Santigold and we know her show even better. There are currently two Canadian dates, where she’ll be accompanied by a full band and dancers, and openers Trouble Andrew and Amanda Blank.
