Courtney Love's Album Is Still A Go

Courtney Love has quashed rumours that she had scrapped her new album.

A number of recent reports claimed that the former Hole frontwoman wasn't happy with the follow-up to 2004's America's Sweetheart and was going back to the drawing board. But that's not the case, Love insisted in this May 18 MySpace blog post written in her typically erratic style:

"how do i define rerecording things? a little more the way i feel them? its certainly no diss on Linda ( or billy) there wouldnt BE lift off without either of them- itll take at most til July rto have a finsished and completed album and it has not taken ME three years , aa i just posted i have been absouloutly at the mercy of the schedules of others and waiting 8 months for 5 days is just not something i can live with, at this rate itll NEVER come out so no":scrapping" is going on, simply a few retakes- especially since all those recordings were leaked to the net and i knew if we played some of those songs live that woudl happen- so rearrangemnt ona couple of things hav happened and on a couple oif things toally unmixed and unfisinihsed is what yoru hearing ( eg carcrach that IS a demo and not the song at all- that was a small idea thats now a huuuge idea you wouldnt recognise it) dont assume you knwo any songs on this album some may sound somewhat familiar or even have the same titlkes and arrangements a few , a few are just precious diamonds i wouldnt touch but theres TONS of NEW ones wich you have nt a clue about i knwo cos i havent finsihed lyrics and im days away also am playiong with Roddy ( Bottum) and Stuart Fisher-= its all very good and should go by very fast the latest i can see thsi coming outr is i dont want to say- but oit will be turned in by mid july at latest. okay?"

The 43-year-old widow of Kurt Cobain began recording her second solo album three years ago after writing songs while in court-imposed rehab. Smashing Pumpkin Billy Corgan helped write and record some tracks, while former 4 Non Blondes singer Linda Perry (Pink, Christina Aguilera) produced the record, which is expected to be titled Nobody's Daughter and released through Perry's Custard Records label.
