Santigold releases new cut "Nothing"

"Nothing" follows previous outings "Ain't Ready" and "High Priestess", and arrives with another Frank Ockenfels-directed short video.

Santigold says of the new release, ""Nothing" is a song I wrote about invisibility. It’s a song for anyone who has not been seen, and for me it was an opportunity to explore how that feels. I wrote "Nothing" in the midst of the Black Lives Matter protests, and in writing the lyrics I was able to release a heaviness that I did not know I was carrying. Being Black and being a woman, particularly one who has chosen the creative path that I have chosen, I have always felt invisible to a degree. People see only what they think they know, or what they think I should be. Or sometimes, they see nothing at all. This song is about the burden of existing beneath a veil of nothingness. And the strength it requires just to be, despite it."

Spirituals will be Santigold's first album since 2016's 99¢, but will follow her 2018 mixtape I Don't Want: The Gold Fire Sessions.
