Santogold Records Song With The Strokes And Pharrell Williams

May 15, 2008
Santogold Records Song With The Strokes And Pharrell WilliamsSantogold has revealed that she’s recorded a new song alongside producer Pharrell Williams.

The untitled track, which also features Julian Casablancas of The Strokes, is to be launched in connection with a new campaign for Converse.

Speaking exclusively to Gigwise, Santogold, whose real name is Santi White, described the song as “such a Pharrell track”.

“Julian and I, I mean everybody on it does there own separate thing and we didn’t do it together so it ends up being just this weird long song with sort of everybody with lots of their own personalities separate,” White explained.

The singer, who has also shot a video for the song, said she felt that “everybody really represented themselves well on it.”
