Santogold added to BBC Electric Proms bill, might actually sell some records
Right, mini-rant time - why isn’t Santogold (left, click to enlarge) massive already? Or is she massive, and I just missed it? She’s too good to be kept as some indie-hipster secret, so the news that she’s just been added to the BBC Electric Proms could just be the little extra push to force her into the minds and ears of, like, everyone. But then she has appeared on a zillion ad/TV soundtracks already and that didn’t seem to work, so…
Santi will appear at London’s Roundhouse on the same night as The Streets, again seemingly being herded into the hip-hop category to which she so blatantly does not belong, and which so raised her ire earlier this year. Surely she’d fit more with the Goldfrapp show the preceding night?
Whatever, let’s hope it increases exposure for her album, because it deserves it.
