Artist News Releases
Love says new album inspired by rehab
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 20 January 2009
Courtney Love has revealed that her new album, ‘Nobody’s Daughter’, is based on her experiences in rehab. She also said that it’s much better than her last album, which was “horrible”.
As previously reported, ‘Nobody’s Daughter’ was due to be released on 1 Jan, but failed to materialise on that date. Subsequently it was revealed that technical issues relating to studio ghosts and hip hop had forced the release date back, and that Love had secured $30 million in funding for the album from various sources, including tampon and tequila manufacturers.
Love told Heeb magazine: “There’s like more singles than I fucking know what to do with [on ‘Nobody’s Daughter’]. It’s taken from rehab. I started in rehab, writing this record in earnest. My last record was a complete disaster. It sucked. It was horrible. It had horrible art and half-baked songs”.
“There’s one song on there I actually force myself to listen to, because you know, we are measured by our failures, and it was more than a failure. I knew it sucked when I was making it, and I continued to make it, instead of just saying, ‘Stop'”.
