Not content with just working with Pharrell and Strokes singer Julian Casablancas in a Converse ad and opening for Coldplay on their current tour, Santogold has her sights set on some major collaborations in the future. The "Lights Out" singer recently revealed to NME that she's working on "something with Jay-Z; it's kind of secret," adding that "it's just 'cos we want to."
Must be nice, right? Santi said she's also working on a project with former Talking Heads frontman David Byrne and recording a track with the Beastie Boys for their next record. But don't think she's turning into some hook queen.
"It's not like 'insert girl on chorus' or anything," she explained. "We'll figure it out as we go along." While a spokesperson for Santogold had no comment on the Jay-Z hookup, he did confirm that the singer is slated to work with Byrne soon and recently went into the studio with the Beastie Boys to work on a song for their next album, tentatively due out in 2009.
