 Singer/songwriter Santigold has announced that she will hit the road for an endless dance party across the US one more time this spring, before heading back into the studio to record the follow up to her self-titled debut.
The singer will be performing with a full band and dancers for the first time in North America to bring her genre-blending sound to life. Virgin Records artist Trouble Andrew, who can be heard on the Santigold track "I'm A Lady," along with Downtown Records' singer/mc Amanda Blank will serve as opening acts for her.
Santigold recently released "Brooklyn Go Hard," a duet with Jay-Z produced by Kanye West that samples her current single "Shove It," which is the lead single from the Notorious B.I.G. biopic "Notorious." She also performed "Shove It" on the debut week of "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon."
Her self-titled debut dropped in April of 2008, and became one of last year's most acclaimed albums, garnering international raves. Critics and radio have championed the record's standout singles "L.E.S. Artistes," "Creator" and "Shove It." Both the album and singles made countless "Best of 2008" lists from Rolling Stone to The Wall Street Journal.
