    The Gossip singer Beth Ditto says the band's new album A Joyful Noise -their fifth- is influenced by ABBA.

    Ditto, in an interview with The Guardian, said, "That's the thing about ABBA. There is zero rawness. That's so incredible to me. I think I'm really infatuated with that right now because that's not the music I usually listen to. It never caught my attention before."

    Are you going to make (or at least listen to) A Joyful Noise?
