It’s been quite a while since the world heard from Santigold, but she is planning her return. In a surprise announcement, she revealed that her fourth studio LP, Spirituals, is scheduled to be released this fall. The project will include contributions from Rostam, Boys Noize, Dre Skull, P2J, Nick Zinner, SBTRKT, JakeOne and several others.
Santigold has not released a new LP in six years. During that time period, she welcomed three children into the world and took some time away from music. Now, she’s ready to get back in touch with the art that made us all learn her name.
“All of a sudden there I was with three small children out of school—just-turned-2-year-old twins and a 6-year-old—I was cooking, cleaning, doing laundry, and changing diapers from morning to night, with three little kids coming in and out of my bed throughout each night like musical chairs,” she shared in a press release.
“Recording this album was a way back to myself after being stuck in survival mode. It wasn’t until I made the space to create that I realized I wasn’t only creating music but a lifeline. I’d never written lyrics faster in my life. After having total writer’s block, they started pouring out. I decided to create the future, to look towards where we are going, to create beauty and pull towards that beauty. I need that for myself, but it’s also there for whoever else needs it.”
Unfortunately, Spirituals won’t arrive on all digital service providers on September 9, 2022. In the meantime, check out the project’s first single below.
