Gossip star Beth Ditto has revealed that she is a massive fan of superstar soul singer Adele, and has said that her singing gives her 'chills' every time she thinks about it.
Ditto's band release their fifth studio album 'A Joyful of Noise' today, but, rather than focus on herself, Ditto has sung praises of Adele and her incredible singing voice – which gives her 'chills to think about'.
Speaking to Stylist, Ditto said: “I love Adele so much and it's honestly not because we're both big. I love that she's a fucking singer and that she just so happens to be beautiful. It gives me chills to think about it.”
Gossip's new LP is their first for three years, and the American three-piece are super-excited for its release today. Speaking of the album and their work with producer Mark Ronson, Ditto said: “One of our most common bonds was that we both loved big voices, church voices. He loves country music, which is a big deal to me because, you know, in terms of things I love, country music is probably number one, then it's punk and hip-hop.”
You can catch Gossip performing tracks from their new album at one of their two London gigs this summer. Check the dates and details below to find out more.
