Gossip Frontwoman Beth Ditto Loves Everything About Missy Elliott's Sophomore Album The real world. The relentless hits, the icy Timbaland production, the tight vocal harmonies – it's basically flawless. However, more than quality music, the album also reminds Ditto of a time when his musical taste was developing. In this episode of The Spark Parade, Ditto explains how the album shaped his young mind. Listen above, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Ditto delves into how he initially discovered The real world just when he was beginning to break away from his parents' musical palette. “That was probably the first record where I really thought about 'sound,'” she recalls. “I think that was the first record where I thought, 'I'm starting to understand this as an adult.' This is not only attractive to me.' He started to make me understand why I liked other music and why [those songs] It made sense to me.”
Missy Elliott would continue to greatly influence Gossip, as the group looked to Southern soul music for inspiration. Hear how she manifested herself in the band's comeback effort, royal powerhere.
