Spirituals was recorded largely during the 2020 lockdown. “All of a sudden there I was with three small children out of school—just-turned-2-year-old twins and a 6-year-old—I was cooking, cleaning, doing laundry, and changing diapers from morning to night, with three little kids coming in and out of my bed throughout each night like musical chairs,” Santigold said in press materials. “I was losing touch with the artist me, stuck in a part of myself that was too small. I felt the other parts of me were shrinking, disappearing.”
