Don’t know about you, but this is comin’ outta left field for me. Apparently Courtney Love has been working on a new album since 2009 and she’s also going to release her memoir.
Recently, Courtney Love has been trying to build hype around her 2nd solo album and follow-up to 2004’s ‘America’s Sweetheart’. Back in November ’24, Love said she enlisted Echo & The Bunnymen’s Will Sargent for the new album.
Now, Love was present at London’s Royal Geographical Society (March 4) and had an on-stage talk with actor-writer Todd Almond, who was celebrating the release of his new oral history collection, Slow Train Coming: Bob Dylan’s ‘Girl From the North Country’ and Broadway’s Rebirth.
Love talked about her forthcoming new album – besides Sargent, the album will also feature her ex-Hole bandmate Melissa Auf Der Maru.
And yes, when the album is released, you’ll see Courtney Love hit the road to tour in support.

Love has emphasized that Hole isn’t reuniting, but that Auf Der Maur tour with Courtney.
As for her memoir, Courtney Love has said you can expect that before Christmas ’25.
Love recently got together with Auf Der Muar on 070 Shake’s cover of Tim Buckley’s ‘Song To The Siren’. In the new interview, Love said Auf der Maur “could be the actual siren”, adding: “Her voice is a full robust octave above ours, while Shake’s voice feels like a rupture in the universe – absolutely gorgeous. I love magical moments like that.”
Are you excited for the return of Courtney Love – Hole – or not?
