For years, Santigold has earned her respect within various genres throughout the music industry. Beginning her career as an A&R Epic Records after graduating from Wesleyan University, Santigold left her job to write for the singer, Res. From there, Santigold moved on to develop her own music. As a solo artist, the Philadelphia native has been able to work with likes of Pharrell, GZA and Christina Aguilera. She’s also shared the stage with Kanye West and Jay-Z. With three studio albums under her belt, the internationally charting singer-songwriter has decided to release a new project titled, I Don’t Want: The Gold Fire Sessions.
When asked about the creative process for creating this project, Santigold said, “I moved to L.A. from New York last July, and I made most of the record the week before I left.” Santigold also added, “It’s always cathartic for me to write music. The good thing is that music works on a spiritual and energetic level. People can feel stuff in a different way when it’s through music. If you can get some inspiration into a song, it might be received in a more impactful way than if you were just to have a conversation.”
Santigold’s new project, I Don’t Want: The Gold Fire Sessions, is officially here. Stream her fun, spontaneous and politically relevant project right now.
