The track was announced last month and will appear on third studio album ‘Rush!’, which is out this Friday (January 20) and has been previewed by previous singles ‘The Loneliest’, ‘Supermodel’ and ‘La Fine’.
In the lead-up to the release of ‘Gossip’, Måneskin frontman Damiano David shaved his head, with guitarist Thomas Raggi giving David a new buzzcut look as their bandmates watched on.
‘Gossip’ is a rock’n’roll stomper featuring scuzzy guitars and a relentless backbeat. Listen to it below.
Speaking to NME last October, David revealed that the forthcoming ‘Rush!’ had been inspired in part by Radiohead.
“I think that the inspiration we got from Radiohead was to be very focused on creating a very specific world for each song,” he explained.
“It’s something they do very, very well so we tried to create these amazing atmospheres. They really create an image of what you’re listening to, and that gave us inspiration.”
The singer also told NME that the record showcases “a lot of variety and music skills”, and had “stepped out of its comfort zone and is trying to do new things”.
Over the Christmas break, the band gave fans a glimpse at their life on the road with a new short film titled Everything This Way.
Måneskin, who rose to fame after winning Eurovision 2021, will return to London for a headline show at The O2 on May 8, 2023 (find tickets here). The gig will form part of a lengthy European tour that begins in February.
