What...a Salute

Beth Ditto, the singer-songwriter who first busted onto the scene as the face and the voice of the indie rock band the Gossip, is going solo.

And to transcend her tremendous hipster cred, girl has gone and tapped into the pop goddess within to earn herself some new fans while paying respect (the right way) to the Queen of Pop with the video for her “I Wrote the Book,” the lead single off her upcoming debut EP.

The ditty is a fun time and a half, but the obvious-nod-to-Madonna video...well, darn, if it’s not only a clever move but, clearly, a...nope, I got nothing else. It’s just smart. Super-good smart.
