Listen To This: They're Back!

Filed under: Listen To This > Beth Ditto

al_94195215127d4cfba44e63a8.jpg

Finally!!!!!!!!

After a painfully long absence - over two years! - The Gossip is back and ready to conquer the world with their upcoming album.

Lead singer Beth Ditto may be a media darling, but she's all about the music - first and foremost. Her voice is raw and powerful on the band's new single, Heavy Cross.

The song is quintessential The Gossip. It's got a killer bass riff, simple instrumentation, garage-sounding but with a danceable beat.

It kills!!!!!!!!

The Gossip are back - and they do not disappoint!!!

  24. 24

    She's so good. youtubed some of her shows, and she's so passionate! love her!



  25. 25

    love this!



  26. 26

    why do you insist on promoting this group? just because the singer is proud to be disgustingly obese?

    why don't you push a group featuring members who are healthy and exercise. kids are too lazy these days for you to promote someone who thinks being enormous is ok.



  27. 27

    I've never heard their music b4 this…Luv it!



  28. 28

    LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!! I'm so happy they are putting out a new album!! :)

  43. 43

    Amazing voice!!



  44. 44

    ahhh this is just EPIC probaly the best think you have done Perez…is introduce the world to GOSSIP



  45. 45

    Only Perez cares about these people. Seriously. Im sick of seeing this girl. She should join a gym before she makes another album.



  46. 46

    She's popular amongst the "Gender Studies" lot … you know, I was thinking of changing my name to "pens fan". Cheering for the Red Wings is like cheering for the Yankies.



  47. 47

    Wow this is actually good… it's different and her voice is very interesting… i like it yes nice….

  48. RubyM says – reply to this


    48

    Gross. She is disgusting. Just… gross.



  49. 49

    The Gossip rocks.



  50. 50

    she should have a drip of cum coming out of her twat and a drawing
    of her eating a hoagie. Where is that Perazzz.?



  51. 51

    intros too long…boring…..two chord song, very weak. boy, is this generation hurting for talent….what a shame. we need to get the kids involved in some music school. maybe the next generation can do better.



  52. 52

    Who?



  53. 53

    Re: Six7Six7
    wow, you are really rude, obviously you dont understand that everyone comes in different shapes and sizes , who cares what these people look like, if they want to make music, then we shouldnt put them down because of how they look, it should be about their talent. You're a pig, and people like you are the reason that America is a nation where people are afraid to be themselves because they are afraid of what other people might think. I think its a good thing that everyone looks different, because I know I wouldn't want to look like you!



  54. 54

    Some of yall are assholes, come on shouldnt we be judging them by their talent and not their weight!?!



  55. 55

    Like Girls Aloud you keep promoting this crap. When will you realise that most people wouldn't have a clue who they are or simply just don't care???



  56. 56

    The Gossip rocks my world!!!!



  57. 57

    They had another version of this song on their myspace forever… it was actually better than this one. Too bad they changed it…



  58. 58

    L-O-V-E-D IT! Congratulations Beth and the band, this is a great song!! AND i am not normally into this kind of music…but i like yours. Oh, and to #26, you should take that finger and stick in your own ass, because the music is judged on the sound and not the weight of the singer dumbasss! Beth- don't listen to the idiots here- you are beautiful just like you are honey… fuck em!



  59. 59

    they were doing this song two years ago live so it's nothing new. they cleaned it up, sped it up, and made it radio worthy. regardless it's an amazing song that showcases their talent. hearing beth sing it live will make you hear the difference though. she has so much more emotion than in this version.



  60. 60

    Beth Ditto and The Gossip will save the music industry! With all the throw-away pop and artists these days, The Gossip is a slap in the face freshness that the music industry needs. Their last album killed it and I am stoked about the new music. She's real, she's original and no one can touch her talent… not even Gaga!



  61. 61

    Never listened to them before but I'm totally loving this



  62. 62

    A wild Snorlax appears.
