Beth Ditto has been talking about her new album to Metro and says it's about gayness. She also she says that she hopes that what she has done will inspire others.
Here's what she said: "This record is much more about gayness. We come from the post-riot grrrl scene, and when you're suddenly in the UK Top 40, it's a really rad platform. We were so isolated as kids - we had to scrape the surface until we found something cool. Without bands like Nirvana and Sonic Youth, we'd have been lost. I just hope what we do inspires some totally nerdy boy with glasses in some remote village, or some fat girl who's been told she's ugly, to form a band. Happiness is so close - it starts when you get the fuck out of school!"
