In some ways, Santigold\u2019s latest is heavier in tone than her first, with deep, thick rhythms and\u00a0weighty lyrics on \u201cThis Isn\u2019t Our Parade\u201d and \u201cThe Keepers,\u201d\u00a0which has a soaring melody on the refrain. There are brighter moments, too. Opener \u201cGO!\u201d barrels along on a tangle of frenetic rhythm (and a guest spot from Yeah Yeah Yeahs singer Karen O), and \u201cBig Mouth\u201d is three minutes of gleeful trash talk that\u2019s at once brash and sultry\u2014just like\u00a0Santigold herself. \u2013Eric R.
