Album Review: Spirituals by Santigold
Excellent, Based on 2 Critics
Based on rating 4
Born in lockdown, Santi White’s latest project is both old and new at the same time, drawing on the human spirit, but using cutting edge electronics to do it The word 'multimedia' conjures visions of the 1990s, when the world was getting to grips with how to manufacture a CD that worked in a computer. For Santigold, however, it is the most accurate description of where she is as a creator. 'Artist' would be too weak a word, for her fourth album Spirituals is just part of a project launching enterprises in the fields of music, video, podcasting, skincare and even a new brand of tea.
Opinion: Very Good
It's been far too long since we got an album proper from Santigold. While 2018's warmly received 'I Don't Want' mixtape gave fans some energetic bangers to tide us over, it's been a whole six years since '99¢' lit up stereos. In her absence, the genre-mashing of indie and rock with dub, reggae, dancehall, and everything in between has almost become the norm.
