With Beth Ditto's unmistakable grace and attitude, Gossip make pop their own, and in this remix of A Joyful Noise track "Get a Job," the bass-heavy club cut gets a clattering reworking from German producer Wankelmut. Though the original drives forward with a pulsating, beating bass and huge thundering thumps, Wankelmut's remix inserts quick click-clacks and a funky low-end groove for a subtle and hypnotic take on the track. Both are big time booty shakers, but while the original slams hard, Wankelmut shakes down.

Wankelmut's remix of "Get A Job" will be on the forthcoming A Joyful Noise RMX EP.

Sounds of Blackness singer Ann Nesby groomed the R&B group before handing them over to Naughty by Nature's KayGee, who wrote and produced "Too Close." The idea for the song was sparked "from a conversation we had with several girls at a nightclub," explained T-Low. "It's talking about the club scene, with guys getting out of hand and the female telling him to back up, asking, 'What are you doing?'"
