Santogold will support Coldplay on part of their North American arena tour this summer (dates below). These will be the first Santogold live dates in the US since SXSW and Coachella where her performances became highlights of the festivals. She will also perform at this year's Lollapalooza and Central Park SummerStage.

Downtown/Lizard King released Santogold's self-titled debut album in April and it instantly became one of 2008's most acclaimed albums with Rolling Stone declaring her "The future of music, today" due to the album's genre-defying sound. Critics and radio have championed the record's first single "L.E.S. Artistes" and the video became an online sensation.

British pop star LEONA LEWIS has impressed one U.S. journalist with her manners when she sent him a bottle of his favourite wine after a sore throat prompted her to scrap their planned interview. The Bleeding Love sensation has since rescheduled her chat with respected columnist James Brady and he has taken a moment to honour the singer’s class in a Parade magazine article. Brady writes, "She was in New York recently but developed a sore throat, forcing her to change our breakfast plans and fly back to London. "The next day, she sent me a bottle of wine with the sweetest note. Good penmanship on personalized stationery - the sort of gesture reporters rarely get. "Obviously, she’s a kid with manners as well as talent."
