On June 23, The Gossip released their newest album, "Music for Men", a spine-tingling, powerful collection full of dance beats and electric guitar. Beth Ditto's voice continuously knocks the listener's socks off with every belted note.
"Heavy Cross", the album's first single, is a wildly uplifting anthem that inspires all to stand up and tell the world to go screw itself in a melodically pleasing and powerful way. The title track on the album crosses societal lines, makes us want to dance, and implements the use of a cowbell, all in one artistically sweeping feat of a song. In the final track on the deluxe edition of the album (available on iTunes), which features the song "Vertical Rhythm" live at the Paradiso, Ditto's emotion is movingly apparent as she develops a tone that borders on Joplin-esque. This poses the question: is there anything Beth Ditto can't do with those pipes?
