Real Power is the upcoming sixth studio album by American indie rock band Gossip. It is set to be released on March 22, 2024, by Columbia Records. The album marks their first studio release in twelve years, following A Joyful Noise (2012).
Background
The album was produced by Rick Rubin, who previously worked with the band for their 2009 album Music for Men.[1] Recording began in 2019 at Rubin's home studio in Kauai, Hawaii, following a brief tour reunion for the 10-year anniversary of Music For Men.[2] Recording came to a halt during the COVID-19 pandemic and resumed when restrictions were lifted.[3]
Gossip described working with Rubin as "a true gift", saying that they felt "genuinely cared about and supported" as he "creates calm, positive, open spaces". About 30-40 songs came about from the sessions with Rubin, after having thrown "everything against the wall" and having the "best time".[4] Real Power is a "celebration of creative expression" and the power that came out of choosing family in the aftermath of "collective and personal trauma", according to a press release.[5]
