It's been a few months since we heard from the wonderful pipes of Gossip front woman Beth Ditto. So, feeling a little Gossip nostalgia this evening I played through Music For Men. When it ended I remembered how amazing their last single was/is. Have a listen below and roll about in its awesomeness:
I absolutely love Gossip. From the anthem 'Standing in the Way of Control' to the Bluesy rock of 'Dimestore Diamond' and poppy 'Love Long Distance', they have never once disappointed me. Of course their sound has evolved, now sounding more polished ("sounding" until they split of course) and 'professionally' produced. However, the raw authenticity that laced their debut album Movement, was key to their success on their first 'mainstream' album. The amazing thing about Movement is the live quality and the soulful, blues rock sound that is brought with Ditto's immensely identifiable and loveable voice. 'Don't Make Waves In The Water' is one of the highlights from said album, so check it out. Why? BECAUSE I SAY SO.
