Santigold with Her Eyes Open

Santigold—Santi White—has always occupied a genre no chart was built to accommodate. Big Mouth arrived in early 2012 ahead of Master of My Make-Believe with the compressed, dub-leaning bounce she’d been refining since her first record: a voice that can be playful and menacing inside the same bar, beats that land just slightly off where pop instinct would put them. The track title suits her. She’s always been someone who says more than the room expects.
