Gossip

To whet your appetite for the album of the same name comes US three-piece Gossip’s 'Standing in the Way of Control’ - iconoclastic frontwoman Beth Ditto’s retort against the American government’s decision not to legislate gay marriage.
Belting out the chorus she wrote to encourage people to fight for their rights, Ditto clearly gets the party started, too. Sounding like the Yeah Yeah Yeahs with bite, this track’s disco-friendly rhythm and gutsy percussion, smothered with soulful vocals not only makes for a passionate civil rights anthem but a definite contender for single of the year. The album is also out now.
