GOSSIP (feat. Tom Morello)

Måneskin's 'GOSSIP (feat. Tom Morello)' is a scathing commentary on the superficiality and falsehoods that pervade the entertainment industry, particularly in Hollywood. The Italian rock band, known for their flamboyant style and energetic performances, teams up with legendary guitarist Tom Morello to deliver a powerful critique of the so-called 'American dream.' The song's title itself, 'GOSSIP,' suggests a preoccupation with rumors and superficial chatter, which is a common theme in the world of celebrity.

The lyrics paint a picture of a city where appearances are everything and authenticity is scarce. Phrases like 'put some plastic on your face' and 'this place is a circus' evoke the artificial nature of fame and the pressure to conform to certain beauty standards. The song suggests that in the pursuit of fame, individuals are willing to sacrifice their true selves, becoming 'just like them all.' The repeated line 'Sip the gossip, drink 'til you choke' serves as a metaphor for the intoxicating and often destructive nature of fame, as well as the relentless consumption of rumors that fuels the celebrity machine.

Måneskin's message is clear: the glitz and glamour of Hollywood come at a price, and that price is often one's individuality and sense of reality. The song's energetic rock sound, complemented by Morello's signature guitar riffs, underscores the urgency of the band's warning against getting swept up in the facade of fame. 'GOSSIP' is a reminder to remain authentic and to be wary of the seductive yet hollow promises of the entertainment industry.
