Girl Talk Preps New Album

Girl Talk (a.k.a. Gregg Gillis) is an interesting musician. He takes clips of popular songs throughout the past few decades and stirs them all into one big musical stew. For example, he will put the words of a song that is popular today over the music of a song that was popular about twenty years ago, creates a new catchy tune, and then leaves the new beat just as quickly as he created it to go on to a new combination. The music flows really well; when listening to the music it is oftentimes hard to distinguish when a new "song" has begun and when the last "song" ended. This is a process known as "mash-up", and although it sounds confusing it's actually a bold new way to make music. It's fun and fast and the listener always picks up little bits from his or her favorite songs. What's better than all your favorite songs from the past twenty years rolled up into one huge album?

Girl Talk has spent much of his time since the release of his most popular album "Night Ripper" on tour, and he is finally settling down to make some new music. The new album was supposedly "leaked" on the internet, but Gillis quickly dispelled those rumors. In an interview with pitchforkmedia.com Gillis said, "Yesterday, someone posted a fake 'leak' of my upcoming album. I was not involved in this at all. The music posted had nothing to do with me. Please spread the word that the leak was fake." The new album is tentatively called "Wild Peace IV: Feed the Animals, Raise the Dead" and does not currently have a release date. But hey, at least he's working on new music! it should be a great time for all whenever it is actually released.
