Courtney Love talks new album

Courtney Love has revealed details of her new album Nobody's Daughter.

The 45-year-old rocker, who began writing new material for the album in 2005, has claimed that her highly-anticipated record is the most "important" work she's ever laboured on.

Love told Rolling Stone: "It’s more important than any record I’ve ever made, by far."

As for using the moniker of her former band Hole to promote Nobody's Daughter, she said: "Wherever I lay my head is Hole. It’s four letters. It is one of the best band names in f**king 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."

Love added: "There’s a lot of maternal instinct on there, and probably my favourite lyric is: ‘Nobody’s daughter, she’s never was, she never will be beholden to anyone. She cannot kill. You don’t understand how evil we really are'.

"I don’t even know what that really means, but I know it’s something to do with my daughter and it’s also to do with me."

Nobody's Daughter is to be released in January 2010.
