Courtney Love Releasing 'Nobody's Daughter' in January

Courtney LoveHole fans, rejoice. Courtney Love has not only resurrected her '90s band's name for her new album 'Nobody's Daughter,' she's actually going to release it. Rolling Stone confirms that Hole's first record since 1998's 'Celebrity Skin' is set for a January release and explores a varying degree of topics that one might expect from Love: greed, vengeance and feminism. Apparently, the sound draws from David Bowie's 'Diamond Dogs,' "the good side of Pink Floyd's 'The Wall'" and "'80s goth," so, it might be a bit moody.

Still, all of this is good news for a few reasons. First, 'Nobody's Daughter' hasn't exactly been fast-tracked. After a false start in 2005 that included getting Billy Corgan and Linda Perry to produce, Love scrapped those sessions and fired her band. In the end, she ended up hooking up with 'Celebrity Skin' producer Michael Beinhorn, as well featuring the production and guitar work of 23-year-old guitarist Micko Larking.

But more so, this will probably have Love focused around something other than saying Ryan Adams is terrible, possibly signing off on her former husband Kurt Cobain's likeness for video games and being sued by American Express. As we noted back in January, 'Nobody's Daughter' was supposed to be funded by a tequila company and a tampon company, but there's no word yet on any cross promotions.

She does seem generally excited to give Hole another go. "It's four letters," she told Rolling Stone. "It is one of the best band names in f---ing history, if I do say so myself. For a while, I was a little embarrassed it was maybe vulgar but at least it's not phallic. It's H-O-L-E, it's a great band name, and it's mine."

Despite her overkill of shortcomings she does have some talent. Her music does have soul and substance. that appears to be lacking in some artists today. C U L8R!!!!

You people are the meanest lowlife idiots. Nothing better to do than critizize a woman who is troubled and has had a lot of problems in life? She's made albums and movies. What the F**K have any of you ever done? You just sit on your computers and put down other people. Wow. Amazing.

Yay, new Hole! Finally! Regardless of what a mess CL is, she's a brilliant musician and I'm glad she's finally putting out a new album.

Yet Corgan and Perry claims her to be a brilliant songwriter/artist.

Yes, she's controversial, but then again, it's not a crime not to listen to the music, and why bother unless you're either impressed, frightened or envious? (Or all of it)

In Europe, she's a celebrity due to her originality. Thank god for women who still got the guts to stay out of conformity.

Welcome back, CL, and welcome back to Europe whenever you like-

I love when people go all "but she makes great music", seriously people, she has never ever composed a single track, havent you realized that hole records always juat sounds of whomever she is fucking and/or whoever its producing it at the moment? dont you all think "celebrity skin" sounds suspiciously like billy corgan not trying very hard? Courtney Love fans are as pathethic as she is.
