Gossip singer Beth Ditto is releasing a solo EP produced by Simian Mobile Disco in January.

The frontwoman first teamed up with the British dance pair on the song 'Cruel Intentions' for their 2009 album 'Temporary Pleasure', and has headed into the studio with them once more.

The as-yet untitled EP will feature four new songs and will be released on 12-inch vinyl and as a download next month. A specific release date hasn't been confirmed yet.

Gossip's latest album 'Music For Men' was released last year.
