Spirituals (Santigold album)

Santigold promoted Spirituals with singles and videos for "High Priestess", "Ain't Ready", "Nothing", "Shake", "Fall First", "My Horror" and "Witness".

[12] Alternative Press wrote about the songs: "She shares her journey to ascension and invites us to participate with tropical rhythms that simultaneously haunt and uplift".

[13] NME wrote that Santigold opened to love on the closing track "Fall First", saying: "her passion is channelled through an unlikely vintage post-punk lens, complete with a motorik beat, an ominous bassline and cavernous reverb".

A picture disc edition vinyl LP - limited to 7,500 copies- was also made available from various retailers including Amazon, "Roughtrade", Juno, "Imusic", and Fnac.

[14] Short music videos were shot and uploaded on Santigold's YouTube channel for the six singles taken from the album: "High Priestess", "Ain't Ready", "Nothing", "Shake", "Fall First" and "My Horror".

[25] Pitchfork reviewer Heven Haile considered that Santigold "is pioneering an innovative soundscape" on Spirituals with "unsettlingly ethereal vocals", concluding that she "reimagines the type of music that can comfort people in times of grief and stagnation".

[10] Heather Phares of AllMusic noted in general "hypnotic" songs "with ear-catching production choices aplenty" and how "Santigold also excels at bridging the past, present, and future of her own music".

[12] Reviewer Robert Christgau hailed Spirituals as Santigold's best album yet, crediting her with "transmuting the atmospheric midtempo rock-as-electrodance she's long fiddled with so engagingly into something more ominous, almost as if she's observant enough to notice that she's living in history".
