Gossip

The beloved Portland pop/indie-rock trio Gossip returns with Real Power, their first album in 14 years, produced by Rick Rubin.

The result is an 11-track celebration of the galvanizing might of music, the joy of creative expression, and the power of chosen family in the aftermath of collective and personal trauma. The timing is ripe for a Gossip reunion, and 'Real Power' heralds a new maturity and renewed sense of purpose for the trio. “When we began, so much about Gossip was about running away—that was always in the music,” says Ditto. “We survived. We came from nothing, and we got the fuck out of there. And to be here 20 years later and still making music together is just incredible.”

Our Jacky says: "Following a long break, this disco pop comeback could’ve popped up anywhere and any time on the music scene and it would somehow still fit. Originally intended as a solo project until former bandmates, Hannah and Nathan, added their magic to Ditto’s vocals to produce this unmistakably ‘Gossip’-esque album. Often political and always fun, I’ve had it on repeat all year."
