With her spread out style and numerous monster jams, it's not easy to understand Santogold's Commercial Appeal.

You can't blame people for thinking Santogold's long awaited debut LP would come on M.I.A. style: there were the preadvertised producers (Kala cohorots Diplo and Switch), the panglobal beat-infused live shows, and the regular stage accompaniment from, well, you get...
