Anne

Anne was recorded in New York City during the eight-week sessions for Santigold’s debut album Santogold at Schoolhouse and Pitch Black Studios. It was written by Santi White, John Hill, and Dave Taylor, and produced by Switch with White and Hill credited on the album’s production and technical work. The song appeared on Santogold, the 2008 debut that introduced Santigold’s sharp blend of pop, dub, punk, and electro to a wider audience. The album drew strong critical praise on release and established her as one of the era’s most distinctive new voices. Anne remains part of the debut album that is now regularly cited among the most important pop records of the late 2000s. Its sound and collaborative production model helped define the broader Santigold template that later artists and critics continued to reference.
