For a singer so young, Santogold's life already reads like a Hollywood movie script. Born Santi White in Philadelphia some time before 1989, the producer-turned-songwriter's world turned upside down four years ago when her father fell ill and died shortly after he became embroiled in a federal corruption sting. It was a tough period for the singer whose private life was invaded by the paparazzi while her family endured crushing newspaper articles and her mother found her car bugged by the FBI.

Distraught and disillusioned, Santi split her then-punk project Stiffed, whisked the band's bass player off to New York and renamed herself Santogold. There she vented her anger and frustration at the system in the 10 songs that make up her self-titled debut which for the most part is as explosive and pop punching as the singer's life story. In fact the first three tracks alone will undoubtedly hog airwaves and dent dance floors in the coming months.
