Santigold Master of My Make-Believe

3 stars out of 5 -- "[A]n impeccably fashioned art-pop hodgepodge: hopped-up dance rock, dub clatter, turbulent post-punk ballads."
"MASTER's disgruntles machine-raging and spiky new-wave rhythms evoke both the urgency of early U2 and the agit-pop ire of M.I.A. -- while delivering more direct danceability than either." -- Grade: B+
3.5 stars out of 5 -- "White and her co-conspirators craft a few cutting-edge convulsions for the clubs, like the masterfully minimal 'Fame' and 'Big Mouth.'"
"MASTER OF MY MAKE BELIEVE finds the Philly-born singer refining and evolving her singular blend of post-punk, post-dance, world-influenced party rockers, creating an even more esoteric, and yet -- oddly enough -- more accessible record than her debut."
Billboard (p.30) - "[T]he two near-ballads that sit in the middle of the collection -- 'This Isn't Our Parade' and 'The Riot's Gone' -- are the deal-sealers, urgent confessionals that nonetheless bloom slowly and delicately., using pan flutes, vibes, snare drums and Santigold's unadorned delivery to tell their stories."
3 stars out of 5 -- "White is a great stylist. She can do blind rage as succinctly as knowing pop."
