The timing is ripe for a Gossip reunion, andReal Powerheralds a new era and renewed sense of purpose for the trio.When we began, so much about Gossip was about running awaymdashthat was always in the music, says Ditto.We survived. We came from nothing, andwe got the fuck out of there. And to be here 20 years later and still making music together is just incredible. Crazy Again, the first single fromReal Power, is a blissful classic that channels the energy of deep connection and joy.The song is about actually being in love and feeling so safe, says frontwoman Beth Ditto. The music video forCrazy Again has Gossip once again collaborating with director Ssion Perfume Genius, King Princess. Shot in Kansas City, the clip is classic Gossip, unapologetic and irreverent with unbridled energy. Set against Nathan Howdeshells jagged riffs, slabs of synth and Hannah Billies pulsing drums, Beth Dittos voice remains a thing of wonder tender, but also capable of unleashing a ferocious range and exuding star power.Gossip consists of vocalist Beth Ditto, guitarist Nathan Brace Paine Howdeshell and drummer Hannah Blilie.
