If you care, Courtney Love signs with Virgin

Courtney Love Signs With Virgin



Courtney Love has signed a three-record deal with Virgin. The first fruit of the deal will be the Oct. 28 release of the album "America's Sweetheart," Billboard exclusively reveals in the July 19 issue.

The first single from the set, which will be Love's first album since Hole's 1998 swan song "Celebrity Skin," is still being chosen. Much of the album was written with Linda Perry, who has delivered major pop hits for Christina Aguilera and Pink. Additionally, Virgin Records chairman/CEO Matt Serletic is producing two ballads for the project. The other producers are James Barber and Josh Abraham.

Asked if Love's woes with the music industry, which have included suing and being sued by the Universal Music Group (UMG), found their way into any of the songs, the artist told Billboard, "No, not worth writing about ... There's one song about a fictional boy who saves fictional rock'n'roll in a fictional town. Other than that, it's a lot of God and a lot of sex. Some rebirth, stagnation and death and some hope."

"America's Sweetheart" will be followed by another album in fall 2004 and another in fourth-quarter 2005, Lory says. The next record will be a live album that Love plans to record in a women's prison, perhaps in Ireland. Also planned as a DVD, it will include new and previous material, and feature special guests. The third album will most likely be another studio album.

disbelief

You go rock chick. Her last two Hole albums were interesting but I don't know about this kicthy (sp?) shit. Recording a live alubm in a women's prison. I think if there was any talent there its gone. Wonder when her dance maxi single will come out?

I'd have to say that Courtney being ANYWHERE near Virgin is laughable in it's own write.

Hell yeah! "Courtney Love" and "Virgin" don't just don't mix.
