Australian rave royalty Confidence Man have joined chaotic forces with UK pop queen JADE (yep, that JADE from Little Mix) to unleash a weaponised glitter bomb of a track called ‘gossip’ — which is putting itself in hot contention for the most savage banger of the summer. ‘gossip’ is three minutes of snarky, strutting dance-pop perfection. It’s like acid house meets schoolyard taunts meets a Vogue runway, engineered to get stuck in your head while simultaneously starting drama in the group chat. Confidence Man & JADE – ‘gossip’ “Talk shit, get a hit,” Confidence Man declared in a press statement…
