Beth Ditto on Her Rapid Rise to Fame | Queer the Music with Jake Shears

Опубликовано 15 октября 2024, 8:00

We're back with Season 2 of Queer the Music and what better way to kick off this series with the brilliant Beth Ditto to talk about the anthem that is Gossip’s ‘Standing In The Way of Control’.

The powerful and absolute banger of a track is known for being a response to George W Bush’s 2004 Federal Marriage Amendment which attempted to outlaw same sex marriage in the US. In this episode Beth goes into detail about where the idea and emotion came from when writing and recording the song.

When Beth joined Jake at his apartment to record this episode, they also had a brilliant time reminiscing about the grungy gay clubs from way back when that gave them their first tastes of queer freedom.
