In contrast, Santigold’s self-titled debut album is much more gritty. The instrumentation is minimalistic and acoustic. Lykke Li’s first album, Youth Novels, provides listeners with sweet airy melodies, and each lyric is a youthful take on love.

Upon first listen, it is clear that Santigold and Lykke Li’s music styles are different from each other. It was arguably the best time for indie artists to break into the scene, and both Lykke Li and Santigold were able to amass great praise. MGMT’s “Electric Feel” was blasted at every party and festival, and M.I.A.’s “Paper Planes” had everyone singing enthusiastically about robbery. Let me take you back - this was the year that Vampire Weekend and Fleet Foxes both debuted their first albums. They’re both phenomenal female artists who experienced similar come-ups and have dominated the indie pop and electronic dance music community ever since.īoth artists debuted their first albums in 2008, a year that year saw major commercial success for alternative artists. For me, both of these artists hold personal nostalgia, but their similarities go much further than that. Around this time, I had just created my Spotify account and was beginning to really develop my music taste for the first time. I was introduced to Lykke Li about a year later, when I discovered her song “Possibility” from the “Twilight: New Moon” soundtrack. T.I first came across Santigold’s music in 2012 like most of the general public did, when her song “Disparate Youth” dominated both the airwaves and charts.
