She just opened for Gnarls Barkley at Highline Ballroom, she's playing Summerstage in July and she's reportedly good friends with indie grimster M.I.A. Her name has been tossed around by cool kids all over, and her recently released album has received rave (albeit qualified) reviews.
Yeah, but what does she sound like? Well, listen for yourself. Downtown Records is offering an unreleased track for free download here. It's pretty good. "Your Voice" is a chill reggae-inspired ramble, and while we're talking voices, Santi White (that's her real name) has a beautifully unadorned one. She recalls an early Gwen Stefani with less affectation. This song is a good summer jam for when it's too hot to move but smooth beats are the order of the night. Don't sleep.
