I agree, this one SONG sounds like MIA but if you actually listen to the rest of her album you can see that she has a style of her own. In fact NONE of her other songs sound like this.
@PeezySpicoli actually that's not true M.I.A's first album was released in 2005 she has 3 albums. Santigold's first and only album was released in 2008. M.I.A has been on the seen in Europe since 2000.
@mcnickmish32 ....whatever the case, Santigold shouldve toured or something. Hope she can follow this up...but I loved her first album. Very difficult for black artists with different styles to sell (other than quasi avant-garde crooners Seal and Lenny Kravitz).
Roots, Erykah Badu and Lauren Hill have had similar difficulties....
@4dancingal Santigold explained that they had "shot a video for Creator and it was bad. The director didn't get the shots that they needed. ...And the video was not good enough for this song. ...She said she was like, we're not gonna use it. And they were like, we just spent all this money. So they changed the single to LES, and had a video, and people loved it, and it worked."[ I think both would have been good maybe she is a perfectionist
@mcnickmish32 ... but commercially, LES wasnt nearly the song, Creator was (which had already been featured in a commercial). Whoever her management is, their awful. M.I.A. got 2 years out of one song; Paper Planes, and you wouldnt even know who Santigold is and her album is brilliant. (she even appears in Paper Planes)
yo i thought she was some ugly old chick but the closer to her face u get the better she looks tho its usually the opposite she cute as hell... oh and the song rocks
It's probably not even on here since it's an UNRELEASED videos. I clearly asked if anyone knew where I could find it (meaning a link or website!!!), not for your bullshit,ignorant ass comments to waste my time. Shut up and get a life. I hate to stoop to your level but if you need me to I can
Well the video wasn't canceled if they shot it all, it still exists. I guess it'll just go unreleased? Maybe she'll shoot another version or go ahead and release it anyways? Cuz this is the obvious choice for 2nd single.
even until this day, I'm still mad that this version of the mv wasn't released >:(
