In recent months, Love has been building up hype for her second-ever solo album and long-awaited follow-up to 2004’s ‘America’s Sweetheart’. Now, she’s revealed that the album is finally finished.
She went on to discuss an illness she suffered from in 2019, saying that her body just “exploded” and that she was frequently in hospitals. “I almost died,” she said.
Love então olhou para trás em sua infância, quando ela "interrompia o padrão dos adultos", e como essas memórias influenciaram o próximo registro. "Eles diziam que vermelho era azul, e então eu via azul.
Mas azul era azul. Então eu me manipulava para acreditar que talvez eles estivessem certos, e vermelho era azul... e minha cabeça explodiria. Tipo, lidar com essa merda.
Acho que alguns de vocês podem se relacionar com isso.
She concluded the video by referencing Hole’s last album, 2010’s ‘Nobody’s Daughter‘, calling it “spectacularly humbling”, adding: “Like, playing a Pizza Hut Park at 11am while Limp Bizkit was headlining with 30 Seconds to Mars.
Love then reflected on how great music is right now: “People sound great live,” she said. “The girlies are amazing. Shit’s amazing. I just need to like, understand how to do this.
In the caption, Love wrote: “When I made [the record], I believed this was my last record so I made the record I always wanted to make. I was in the hospital mostly but when I wasn’t all I did was write & record it.
Em novembro, ela revelou pela primeira vez que havia recrutado o guitarrista do Echo & The Bunnymen, Will Sergeant, para o novo álbum, mas não a "grossa" PJ Harvey.
Ela também compartilhou mais detalhes sobre as contribuições dele, dizendo que ele "faz esses solos incríveis. Não acho que ele tenha tocado fora do Bunnymen, exceto em seu trabalho solo.
In March, Love said that the album will also feature her ex-Hole bandmate Melissa Auf Der Maur, who also spoke to NME earlier this year about the possibility of a Hole reunion, hinting that the current state of politics might have made it more likely.
Ahead of that, in March, Love sparked fresh speculation of another return by sharing a mysterious video online. The clip featured Auf der Maur posing in a flowing gown, before showing off a gold ring in a close-up shot.
Hole’s 1998 hit ‘Malibu’ played in the background. In the caption, Love wrote: “So do we tell the kids about the tour?” Auf der Maur replied in the comments section: “It starts with eternal love…”.
Love later clarified that there would be “no Hole reunion”, but did reveal that she and Auf der Maur would be “playing some shows, new songs” together. She also added a new comment to her original video, telling fans: “Not a reunion baby.
Me and [Auf der Maur] touring new songs.”.
O casal voltou ao estúdio juntos em 2024 pela primeira vez em mais de duas décadas, e mais tarde, no mesmo ano, se uniram para uma aparição na cover de 070 Shake da música 'Song To The Siren', de Tim Buckley.
Love and Auf der Maur did appear on stage together in October 2018 in Hudson, New York, playing Hole songs ‘Doll Parts’, ‘Miss World’ and ‘Softer Softest’.
In 2021, Love called her previous solo album one of her “life’s great shames”, alongside Steve Coogan and crack.
Love picked up the Icon Award at the 2020 NME Awards. In her acceptance speech, she said: I woke up this morning and I have the honour of picking up this fuck you thing [waves NME award], which is fantastic in the capital of this fantastic country where I first picked up a New Musical Express in I don’t know, 1981 in fucking Liverpool where I read the other day I lost my virginity to Joy Division’s ‘Isolation’.
Shortly after that win, she spoke to NME about the early stages of her latest solo album. “It’s early days and I’ve recorded several new songs whilst I’ve been in London,” she said.
Quanto ao seu memoir que está por vir, Love teria assegurado aos fãs que ele chegará antes do Natal deste ano, e será distribuído através da HarperCollins. É uma atualização promissora, pois Love disse pela última vez em 2022 que o memoir The Girl With The Most Cake estava completo, mas até a época da escrita ainda não havia sido publicado.
