Multi-platinum Italian pop rockers Måneskin enlisted the services of Rage Against The Machine guitarist Tom Morello for their latest single, “Gossip“. That track is among the 17 set for inclusion on the Måneskin‘s forthcoming album “RUSH!“, which Sony have lined up for a January 20th release.
Bassist Victoria De Angelis commented:
“The song originated from a riff which Thomas [Raggi, guitar] 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.”
Guitarist Thomas Raggi added:
“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…”
Morello himself also weighed in on contributing to the track:
“When I heard that there was a rock’n’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’n’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.”
