Santigold Ft. Karen O – ‘Go’

"Sanigold"
Not just there for the awe-inspiringly inane Gwyneth Paltrow backslap sessions in life, Jay-Z’s website Life & Times now brings us a surprise new splicing from the two goddesses last seen together bestowing their graces on the NASA album.

Santi’s also waffling her usual nonsense in an interview about the Struggles Of The Artist, but ignore that and jump straight into this brittle and brilliant brawler of a track. Santi first welcomes us into her court as hardened Snow Queen, intoning, “People want my power/And they want my status/Stole my winter palace/But they couldn’t take it” over brutal, rigid, early Adam Ant-ish synth and great reverberating militaristic kettle-drum booms.
