In addition, a lyric video was released for "Legends". On July 13, Gossip was announced for release in September. On July 6, 2017, the group teased the word "gossip". That's basically the idea behind the song." I was thinking about everything we've been through as a band and the road that we’re trying to travel – and everything that you want to try to do in your life simply as a human being – the lyric, 'We could be legends after all' is something that makes a lot of sense because nothing's guaranteed in life but if you put forth the work and the effort and you try as hard as you can and you follow your dreams then maybe you can make something really awesome happen with your life. "We started coming up with the music and it had such an epic sound to it. "Legends is one of the first songs that clicked when we started writing this record," recalls Quinn. In an interview with radio station 106.7 KROQ, Kellin Quinn spoke about the album's recording sessions. Judging by how well they execute this pop/rock hybrid sound, Gossip is a risk that paid off.Instrumentally, Sleeping with Sirens have strived toward a more pop-influenced sound and have departed from their post-hardcore style seen in the band's previous studio albums. It's the mature final statement on a daring record that marks a new stage for the band. As ever, the singular element that marks it as a Sleeping with Sirens album is frontman Kellin Quinn's glorious tenor, which is pushed to new heights - singing, not screaming - on highlights like "Trouble" and "I Need to Know." Elsewhere, the quintet opts for uplift and optimism, like on the overwhelmingly motivational "Legends" and the defiant punk rock send-up "Cheers." Gossip ends on the powerful "War," which sounds more like a U2-sized arena singalong by way of a worship band than that of a mainstay on the Warped Tour. While there were subtle hints of this evolution on Madness, Gossip is bound to be divisive for fans of their older material ("Empire to Ashes" is the heaviest they get on this set). From post-hardcore blight to a now glossy sheen, the group followed a similar path as contemporaries like All Time Low and PVRIS, whose 2017 offerings also set their sights on the mainstream. Their fifth effort and major-label debut is a streamlined pop offering that says goodbye to angsty screaming, cursing, and the raucous assault that defined their first four albums. Just two years after the release of the rocking Madness, Sleeping with Sirens returned as an almost different band on Gossip.
