Santogold - Santogold

Is 'post-M.I.A.' a genre? If so, this album would fall within it. That said, the most obviously M.I.A.-esque are also generally my least favourite; the best songs are the ones where Santi White, the woman behind the moniker, really does something different, and usually the more melodic ones (I'm thinking particularly of "L.E.S. Artistes", "Lights Out" and "I'm A Lady"). All told, not an album that's dazzled me, but nonetheless a good one.
