Courtney Love makes new music

Rehab rocker Courtney Love has entered a Los Angeles studio to begin work on a new solo album, the follow-up to 2004’s poorly received America’s Sweetheart. Songwriter and former 4-Non Blondes singer Linda Perry is producing most of the effort while Love’s ex-boyfriend Billy Corgan is also set to produce a few of the tracks. Discussing some of the new songs recently Love said: “I don't generally talk about what the songs are about, but I will say that in the gutters of this earth you can always find love.” “In the darkest alley and [during] the lowest moment there is always that thing that glitters just a little bit, no matter how twisted or deadly or violent,” she continued. “It's there magical and transformative. I've written a lot about that.” Though no release date has been scheduled, the yet untitled album may hit shelves sometime later this year or in early 2007. [MandC]
