Coming in hot, Confidence Man’s hushed whispers of “Gossip” and heavy breathing make for an intimate and immersive start to the song, immediately dragging listeners into the heart of the track. Paired alongside the instrumental which can only be described as bouncy and fun, ‘Gossip’ breaks away from the noise and forces listeners to get their dancing shoes on.
An entertaining take on gossip culture, as artfully demonstrated by lyrics such as “Oh my god what did Tina say? / Tina said you’re a c*nt”, the track makes for a refreshing and humorous few minutes, just what’s needed during the depths of summer.
The song fades slightly near the end before JADE’s vocals and the experimental synths kick it right back into life, taking the song for one last joyride which leaves listeners hooked on the sound and wishing for more.
It’s a slightly messy, all over the place track - in the best way possible. Taking inspiration from a club legend like Charli XCX, ‘Gossip’ is the newest club banger on the scene which is sure to inspire many more for decades to come.
