Discover the electric pink vinyl collector's edition of Music For Men.
This cult album, released in 2009, was produced by the famous Rick Rubin (Beastie Boys, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Johnny Cash, Slayer, etc. – the list is long).
Formed in 1999 in Olympia, Washington, Gossip consists of Beth Ditto on vocals, Brace Paine on guitar, and Hannah Billie on drums. With a hybrid sound blending soul, gospel, rock, funk, disco, punk, passion, and rebellion, the Portland, Oregon trio garnered media attention with their first album, ‘Standing In The Way Of Control,’ in 2006. The band is led by the inimitable Beth Ditto – a unique personality, outspoken, rebellious, sexy, and with extraordinary energy. Beth's voice has been compared to legends such as Janis Joplin, Aretha Franklin, and Tina Turner; though it sounds as unique as Gossip's music.
Recorded at the legendary Shangri-La Studios in Malibu, Music For Men fully captures Beth Ditto's vocal power and Gossip's fiery sound.
