Santigold on LES Artistes:
“…it stands for Lower East Side. It’s not a French thing, it is playing on the fact that everyone tries to make things fancy and it’s really pretentious. The song is about me moving back to New York, feeling really vulnerable, wanting to be an artist soaking up all simulation creatively but at the same time staying introverted and in my own mind. At the same time, it’s about being accosted by the New York scene and the scenesters and hipsters, who are really not artists and are just pretending to be. They’re all about just being seen.”
