Listen: Santigold's New Song for Lena Dunham's HBO Series 'Girls'
Music is a big deal to Lena Dunham, the creator/writer/star of HBO's Girls, and now the series is getting the soundtrack treatment. Girls – Volume 1: Music from the HBO Original Series, out January 8, features artists like fun., Robyn and Fleet Foxes, but the highlight might be this new track from Santigold, aptly titled "Girls." Listen below.
The song casts a spell with its various repetitions ("girls!" "ay!"), and there's plenty of fun to be had here. It's a typical genre-defying blast of a track from Santigold; we hope Dunham wrote the Philly-bred artist a nice thank-you note.
