Santogold - L.E.S. Artistes
(written by White; 2008; UK #27; May 2008)

Not a song in french, but L.E.S. stands for Lower East Side, a hip and trendy area of NYC. Santogold came to the attention of the nation due to the use of her track 'Creator' in the VO5 commercial, and instantly recognisable due to the insanely catchy hook. The follow up was a song almost in two parts with a funky broken verse giving way to a soaring emancipating chorus. Recently Santogold, real name Santi White, has been working with Pharrell and releasing her debut album.

Best Lyric: "You don't know me/ I am in introvert an excavator"
