SummersRadio™ New Music! Blondie Featuring Beth Ditto - 'A Rose By Any Name'
Blondie have just released a new song online called 'A Rose By Any Name'! 'A Rose By Any Name' is the first single from the band's forthcoming new album (their tenth) called 'Ghosts Of Download' set for release later this year.
Gossip have just released a new video for their latest single 'Get A Job'! 'Get A Job' is the third single released from their most recent album 'A Joyful Noise'. Yesterday we celebrated Yoko Ono's birthday - and today is Beth Ditto's - she's not quite 80 though, just turning 31.
Here's the very colourful and fun new video for 'Get A Job' - I like the synths in this song too... Enjoy!
SummersRadio™ New Music! Gossip - 'Perfect World'/ 'Standing In The Way Of Control' (Tronik Youth Remix)/ 'Heavy Cross' (Burns Remix)
Portland's Gossip (now sans 'The') have just released their new single online today! 'Perfect World' is the first single from their forthcoming fifth album which is called 'A Joyful Noise' and is set for release on May 22nd. The eleven track album is produced by Brian Higgins aka Xenomania and 'Perfect World' is available on itunes as of today.
I have mixed feelings on this song - Beth Ditto's vocals sound amazing as always -but I find the musical backing terribly ordinary. I reckon that this has more to do with the 'hit' producer than the band itself. Regardless, I should mention that this is not unprecedented - although I'm indeed a fan of the band I tend to favor some of their remixes over some of the regular singles themselves. Thus I look forward to some remixes of this new single - and in the meantime I will feature a couple of remixes of their earlier tracks as well!
For now - this is the first taste of their new album - this is 'Perfect World'... Enjoy!
Bonus Track #1! 'Standing In The Way Of Control' was Gossip's breakthrough single - although it took a couple years to do so. It was first released as a single in North America in 2005, it was released in the U.K. the following year, and then it reached the top 10 when it was re-released in 2007. This remix is from the 2006 U.K. 12" single - this is the 'Tronik Youth Remix'... Enjoy!
Bonus Track #2! 'Heavy Cross' was the first single released from their 2009 album 'Music For Men' - this is the excellent 'Burns Remix'... Enjoy!
SummersRadio™ New Music! Beth Ditto - 'Open Heart Surgery' Portland's Mary Beth Patterson - better known as Beth Ditto - vocalist for The Gossip - has just released her first solo EP! It has four tracks and is simply titled 'Beth Ditto EP' and is available exclusively through Beatport. The EP is produced by Simian Mobile Disco - the artists having previously collaborated on SMD's track 'Cruel Intentions' from their 2009 album 'Temporary Pleasure'. This is the first track on the EP called 'Open Heart Surgery'... Enjoy!
