Audio: Santigold ft. Karen O (Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs) – Go!

Definitely excited for more new music from Ms. Santi White, who just recently signed to Roc Nation.

Santigold: In this song, “GO” has a dual meaning. On one hand it’s a challenge, beckoning any would-be usurpers to come show and prove. On the other, it’s a call to myself to rise to the occasion. “Go” is a “fun” song. It’s playful, but like many of my songs, lyrically it was an opportunity for me to vent. It’s about the difficulties of holding onto what’s yours, everything from your ideas and energy, to your confidence.

So, I’m already in a GREAT mood today, due to the fact that in 10 short hours I will be on my way to Coachella for what I’m positive will prove to be an amazing f’ing weekend. And just when I think my day can’t get any better, I come across this little gem!!

The Trio hit Oprah’s stage yesterday and performed a medley of sorts featuring “What A Man”, “Shoop”, and “Push It”.

I can’t even express in words how insanely happy this performance just made me. Love.
