Santigold despises rise in popularity of dance music

Santigold  wishes dance music wasn’t as popular as it is now, complaining that we’re now “getting the exact same song every time.”

She goes on, “Artists hire one of three producers, one of a couple songwriters, and you pretty much get the exact same song every time.”

“It’s created a dismal landscape for music, but it’s a sure bottom line for the record company,” she said. “It’s really become about the economy of the music industry, and it’s shaping the music that we’re getting in a really unfortunate way.”

“I really don’t like that music, that sort of Euro-dance music, Ibiza-style. I’ve never liked it, even when it was kind of new and underground.”
