Listen: Santigold - Go (featuring Karen O)

Santigold has premiered new track ‘Go’ via Jay-Z’s Life + Times, along with a quick interview about the track.

The track features a near-NYC supergroup, including as it does guest vocals from Karen O, and having been co-produced by her Yeah Yeah Yeahs bandmate, Nick Zinner.

In the interview, Santi explains how she got to work with Karen (via artistic paranoia) and the track’s origins as the idea of the ‘New American Dream’. She explains:

‘The NEW American Dream is to become rich and famous by happenstance – or sex tapes – and to get there with as little work or talent as possible. And as a result, we are suffering – though many of us don’t know it – as quality becomes a notion of the past.’
