‘GOSSIP GIRL’ is the new track from samxemma. It’s a bold, punchy piece of alt-pop that places summery verses against glitchy, intense choruses. Sonically, it is defined by serrated synths and the ever-present thump of the electronic drum kit. “It’s about the irony of miscommunication,” explains Emma. “Instead of confronting the person you should be talking to, you end up whispering about them behind their back. I wanted the song to feel innocent because, at the end of the day, I love gossip, and I love my friends. Thank you to my friend who told me about my other friend’s infidelity, and thank you to the cheaters for inspiring this song.” The Manchester-based duo have announced their new EP, Hot People Make Hot Music, which drops on August 21st, 2025, via September Records. -Dan Peeke
