Hole frontwoman Courtney Love is back in action with her first new tune since a handful of solo songs that she put out in 2015.
Courtney Love is back in the game, with a new track titled ‘Mother’, a brand new song which will appear on the soundtrack for the horror film The Turning, which comes out early next year. The soundtrack itself is slated for a January 24th, 2020 release.
Appearing alongside Love’s song on the rock-centred The Turning soundtrack will be contributions from Soccer Mommy, Mitski, Cherry Glazerr, Sonic Youth’s Kim Gordon, the Kills’ Alison Mosshart and more. You can listen to the brand new track below.
The Turning’s story is based on the 19th-century horror novella The Turn of the Screw, written by Henry James. The director of the film is Floria Sigismondi, who is responsible for overseeing music videos from the likes of Marilyn Manson, Incubus and Muse.
Love, who said she based her new track’s sound on “Nineties rock,” offered an accompanying statement to Rolling Stone. “I read The Turn of the Screw as a kid, so it’s a genuine privilege to have had the opportunity to work with the genius that is Floria Sigismondi and Lawrence Rothman on this soundtrack,” she explained. “Especially as I’m alongside so many other fantastic female artists I respect.”
Love continued, “I’ve long admired [Sigismondi’s] work, particularly The Runaways and the Marilyn Manson videos. Floria and Lawrence had a clear vision on what they wanted to achieve and it was an honor to be invited into their studio and to become a part of it.”
Earlier in the year, Courtney Love claimed that Hole were “definitely talking about” a possible band reunion. The statement came after the group’s master recordings were reported to be involved in the 2008 Universal Studios fire, Hole dropped their lawsuit against the company once they received assurances their materials weren’t affected.
