99 Cents doesn’t exactly deliver the discussion on commodity and the self promised on the cover. But Santigold have assembled a fine package, one which showcases White and her undeniable swagger

For all its colorful packaging and flirtations with bubblegum pop, 99¢ feels constrained, like she took the cover image literally and vacuum-sealed all of her best traits

Pretty Much Amazing
While 99¢ manages to find its footing at a number of points, it never manages to prop itself up as a whole.

The tracklist starts to lose steam a little toward the end, but 99¢ is best experienced as a collection of singles, anyway

What 99¢ really lacks is Santigold's ability to fuse her countless creative preoccupations and genre competencies into three-minute bursts of cohesive songwriting

There are songs here that show Santigold has talent and that one day she’s going to have a fantastic singles compilation. It’s disappointing as her first album suggested she might be a brilliant albums act too

Spin
Practically every track on Santogold boasts a markedly different yet complementary sound by flirting with electronic and dub (“Starstruck”), rock (“You’ll Find a Way”), and glittering, crossover pop (“Lights Out”)
