Måneskin have released their new single, “Gossip” featuring Tom Morello today. Carried by a rapid, infectious and hammering guitar hook, combined with Morello’s signature sound, the track continues to reaffirm the band’s status as a genuine force in rock’n’roll. The single is taken from their upcoming album, RUSH! out January 20th. The album is available to pre-order/save HERE.
Speaking of the collaboration, Tom Morello said, “When I heard that there was a rock and roll band from Italy that was blowing up around the world, I was like ‘Really? Come on’. Then when I saw them play live I was blown away. They are unapologetically loud, unapologetically sexy, and unapologetically ROCKING and deserve to be one of the standard bearers for rock and roll for a younger generation. I got to jam with them at their studio in Hollywood, it’s a great band, they all play great, they write great songs, they connect with their audience in a deep and meaningful way, and if you’ve seen them play live the crowd goes OFF! It looks a lot like some of the big bands of the ‘90s with the crowds bouncing, so you know they are doing something right.”
Discussing working with Tom Morello on the forthcoming new single, the band said:
“Tom Morello’s enormous experience allowed us to take cues on how to work on tracks without overthinking. We can’t thank him enough for joining us on this track. It’s an honour for the whole band!” – Damiano
“Tom Morello brought some Rage to Måneskin!” – Ethan
“Tom is one of the greatest musicians that I’ve always listened to and learned from. Playing with him is a dream come true. It’s an enormous gift and a personal highlight of this incredible year” – Thomas
“The song originated from a riff which Thomas had written some time ago and which we had been holding onto for a long time which we kept developing. Then the icon Tom Morello joined and brought something extra to the classic uptempo Måneskin cheerfulness.” – Vic
