There’s a few female performers – not giant stars, just female songstresses building up their careers – who can occupy a stage with an engaging sassiness as they deliver a catchy melody and a steady beat. It’s that flick of the hands, to the left, to the right, that says “I’m in charge.”
So with Santigold, as she appears on US daytime TV for the first time, performing “Can’t get enough of myself” on The Ellen Show. Now, it’s not perfect – it could be easier to hear the words, and they are good words (when you look them up). But it’s self assured and generally a treat.
Santigold is bringing her We Buy Gold tour to the UK this summer at shows staged by Eat Your Own Ears. Catch her in London on 21st June at the O2 in Shepherds Bush Empire and then in Bristol and Manchester. For tickets (selling fast – don’t hang about), go to: http://www.ticketweb.co.uk/event/IEH2106X
