Gossip’s Beth Ditto Shares New Song “Fire,” Off Her Debut Solo Album: Listen

Former Gossip frontwoman Beth Ditto is set to release her debut solo album, Fake Sugar, later this year. Earlier today she appeared on Mistajam’s show on BBC Radio 1 to premiere the first song. Listen to “Fire” below, as well as her full interview with Mistajam. According to Ditto, the new album took two years and writing “65 to 80 songs” to accomplish, and will include some songs written with producer Jacknife Lee (U2, R.E.M., Weezer). Gossip’s last album before they broke up, A Joyful Noise, was released in 2012. The album was produced by Jennifer Decilveo. In a conversation with Pitchfork, Ditto called the album “my Southern record but not necessarily a country record.” 

Ditto has done a series of one-offs as a solo artist, including a 2011 EP and a David Bowie cover to benefit Girls Rock Camp Foundation. Gossip’s last album A Joyful Noise was released in 2012. She also launched a clothing line in 2016. Read our interview about it.
