    Santigold puts a interesting spin on modern pop with her wide range of musical styles on "99 Cents." From Pop, to Reggae, to Hip-Hop, even to Electronica she (for the most part) pulls off each of these Genres. The production is very interesting here. It could be crisp-and-clean on songs like "Can't get enough of Myself" or Dark-and-Brooding on "Walking in a Circle."

    Mesmo sendo um álbum menos cintilante, se comparado aos outros, Santigold consegue trazer uma peculiaridade particular. Nos presenteando com canções magníficas como Chasing Shadows, a hipnótica Rendezvous Girl e e dançante Banshee. Um álbum bom para se escutar algumas vezes durante a semana.

    For every song that I replay, there’s another that I skip.

    It’s initially fun to play spot-the-references, but in the best moments the sounds are harder to pin down.

    Although the bulk of the album oscillates between sarcasm and sincerity, the most fully realized songs transcend that spectrum entirely.
