Santigold Discusses the “Master Of My Make-Believe” (VIDEO)

January 12, 2012

You may recognize her from V Magazine‘s most recent music issue in which she discussed forthcoming Sophmore LP, Master of My Make-Believe. Santigold, was featured this past summer with the Beastie Boys on “Don’t Play No Game That I Can’t Win”. Born Santi White, the Philly native is following up 2008′s Debut, Santigold, with this sophomore LP that sounds like it was challenging to make:

“It was a very lonely process. I worked with Greg Kurstin on three songs, Switch on several songs, and Dave Sitek [of TV on the Radio] on one song”

As for the title of the album, there is a lot in a name with this one:

“No one wants to be real anymore. Wikipedia is always wrong. No one fact checks and it’s not even a priority. Reality TV is more popular than ever, and it’s the fakest thing ever. Where is there place for truth in all of that? My record is called Master Of My Make-Believe because I want it to be about creating your own reality. I have a song called ‘The Keepers’: ‘we’re the keepers, while we sleep in America our house is burning down.’ It’s about how if we accept this then that’s what it is. We’ve got to fix it.”

Looks like Lady Gaga is not the only one into make-believe vs. reality.
