GOSSIP “Crazy Again” the return (after 10 years) (Watch the video)

Music news

Crazy Again is the new single from Gossip. A song that also anticipates the release of an album of unreleased songs for the band entitled “REAL POWER” (out March 22, 2024).

“Crazy Again” is a pop song that “is about really being in love and feeling safe,” as frontwoman Beth Ditto puts it.

The album also sees the band reunite with renowned producer Rick Rubin, who helmed the hit 2009 album “Music For Men.”

Urged by Rubin, the band began recording the new album “Real Power” in 2019, after completing the “Music For Men” 10th anniversary tour. Recorded at Rubin’s home studio on Kauai, the recording process was temporarily interrupted by the pandemic and resumed when restrictions ended.

The result is an 11-track celebration of the powerful force of music, the joy of creative expression, and the power of chosen family in the wake of collective and personal trauma.

“Real Power” announces a new maturity:

When we started, a lot of Gossip was about running away: it was an ever-present theme in music – says Beth Ditto – We survived. We started from scratch and made it from there. And to be here 20 years later and still making music together is just incredible.”
