LOVE A NEW GOSSIPY EP? DITTO

Looks like today really does mark the official start to the 2011 pop year, and it’s on in earnest with Sony Music revealing moments ago the local release of the side project from The Gossip frontwoman Beth Ditto.
The Beth Ditto EP, a collaboration with Simian Mobile Disco, is due to drop in Australia in March and features the songstress hitting the dancefloor with what her record company describes as “four emotional electro anthems-to-be”.
So as The Gossip fans patiently wait for the band’s fifth LP (work on which is currently underway), the Beth EP will have to suffice.
But the boss of Deconstruction Records (and former M People producer) Mike Pickering says that fans of the outrageous songstress will be more than satisfied with the side project.
“This record cements Beth back where she belongs – on the dancefloor,” he says. “She is the Queen of electro and a true disco diva. I can’t think of a better musical marriage than to Simian Mobile Disco and the songs speak for themselves – in volumes.”
The Beth Ditto EP will hit digital retail on Tuesday March 08, with a physical release slated for Friday March 11.
