Funny – earlier today I was complaining to a friend about how I wanted to listen to some new material from Santigold.

David Byrne and Fatboy Slim are teaming up together to create a concept album about the life of the first Lady of the Phillipines, Imelda Marcos. Titled ‘Here Lies Love’, it’s slated for a February 23rd release via Todomundo/Nonesuch. The first track to be previewed from this collaboration is featuring Santigold singing really high notes over a funky beat.
