Santigold has a mezzo-soprano vocal range, and her style has been compared often to that of M.I.A. In response to the comparison, White stated that they are both “women who have similar influences and have worked with some of the same people”, but that her “music is different and she wasn’t influenced by what the press was saying”.
The singer has also stated that she is inspired by 1980s pop music, feeling that it “had a depth to it”, and that she hopes to “bring back some more good pop songs.” The singer’s main influences are James Brown and Aretha Franklin, and she has cited Devo as her “ultimate favorite band.” Santigold also grew up listening to a lot of reggae, jazz, Fela Kuti and Nigerian music.
Her discography includes four studio albums, two mixtapes, one extended play (EP), and twenty-two singles (including eight as a featured artist).
