Now this is what I'm talkin' about! Santigold, who recently inked a management deal with Jay Z's Roc Nation imprint has unleashed a brand new single called “GO” featuring singer Karen O from one of my favorite bands Yeah Yeah Yeah’s. The track was produced by Switch, Q-Tip, and Santigold with YYY’s Nick Zinner on guitar.
Here is what Santi had to say about the meaning behind GO:
‘GO’ comments on the era we live in and the NEW American dream. The dream used to be that if you worked hard, and you were good at what you did, you could pave your own way in America and the sky was the limit. … However, things have changed. The NEW American Dream is to become rich and famous by happenstance – or sex tapes – and to get there with as little work or talent as possible. And as a result, we are suffering – though many of us don’t know it – as quality becomes a notion of the past. We’re ruining art, our planet, and our health, all due to our newfound obsession with instant gratification.”
I couldn't have said it better myself. Can't wait for the new album because this song is fucking vagenius!
