pharrell (f10's Patrick C. Harrell, and not pop-hop's Pharrell) nailed it on the head with the Missing Persons reference, but he failed to admit that Santi White was able to pull that sound into the new millennium. She may sound like MIA at times, and she did work with Diplo on one hand and Mark Ronson on the other, but if you dig in, you'll see that it's all her own thing. Solid, and likely good enough to make my f10 of 2008.
this santogold stuff is...gold jerry, gold! amazing that they were able to recruit the lead singer of that 80's band - what the hell were they called? oh yeah - Missing Persons.
