BETH DITTO : I Wrote The Book

To be completely honest, in her usual Gossip guise Beth Ditto scares the absolute crap out of us. With her feisty rock chick attitude and wild-child attire, she explodes onto the screen with the venom and swagger of a hungry doberman. And while we would willingly (and admittedly ought to) bow in her goddess-like presence, we kind of get the feeling it wouldn’t take anything more than a sideways glance from the singer to have us trembling fearfully on our knees.
And while the Beth Ditto contained within the clip for her debut solo offering ‘I Wrote The Book’ is a little (nay, a LOT) softer, the singer manages to maintain her effortless cool. Still sexy, still exuding a whiff of attitude and feistiness, but for us in a much more palatable and slightly less petrifying pill.
It’s gorgeous. She’s divine. Gossip purists might not like it, but gotta give the girl props for mixing things up.
