Ten Best Songs of 2008 – #8
It’s a testament to what a strong year for music 2008 was that Santogold’s self-titled debut album didn’t manage to crack my top ten. I feel like it deserves to be there, but looking at the list I’m not willing to drop anything else to make room for her.
Santogold is a delirious blend of M.I.A. and an 80s new wave band, equally at home rapping and delivering a sugar sweet chorus. I considered several songs on her album, including ‘I’m a Lady,’ which I featured on the blog back in August but eventually settled on the lead-off song ‘L.E.S. Artistes.’
