Popping culture: The Gossip & Scissor Sisters drop new videos

Last week The Gossip dropped their new single, “Perfect World,” with a video detailing the lyrics.

Now, the actual video has been released and it’s a visual love poem to Beth Ditto and her powers as a vocalist.

It seems like everyone is releasing “lyrics” videos for their singles. Cee-Lo Green used it to full effect a while back with “Fuck You.” Now the Scissor Sisters have used this format to release their new single, produced by Calvin Harris and Alex Ridha, aka Boys Noize. It’s a mix of glam, filter disco and synth silliness. Not a bad way to whet appetites for new Scissor Sisters material.
