Courtney Love is currently busy making a new solo albumhis first album after that “Nobody’s Daughter” of 2010, which sees her involved together with a series of collaborators chosen from old friends and emerging talents of the current music scene. The former Hole leader offered some details of the project in a recent interview with “The Standard”, revealing that among the guest artists on his album there are Michael Stipe of R.E.M – among other things, godfather of Love’s daughter with Kurt Cobain, Frances Bean Cobain – and her former bandmate Melissa Auf der Mauras well as the guitarist of Echo & The Bunnymen Will Sargent.

The manufacturer with whom is working on the new, currently untitled, album è Butch Walker, but Courtney Love decided to get some involved too emerging figures, including the rapper and songwriter originally from New Jersey 070 Shake and the singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Sofia Isella.

In addition to presenting 070 Shake, aka Danielle Balbuena, born in 1997 and with three studio albums under her belt, as well as several important collaborations, such as “a goddess… a purist and a queen”, Love defined Sofia Isella as “the my other obsession” and he said about her to “The Standard”:

“I think Sofia Isella is the Trent Reznor or Brian Eno of GenZ; I can’t make up my mind. And to think he’s only 19! Unfortunately, the song I worked on with her wasn’t chosen because it was too far from the project… maybe for the next album.”

In her bio on Spotify, Sofia Isella says of herself: “A word slut. I’ve been writing songs since I was 8. Violinist since I was 3. I produce, play guitar and piano.”

With a series of singles released between 2022 and 2024, the singer-songwriter, born in 2005, seen opening for Taylor Swift last August 15th at Wembley before Paramore, recently released the EP “I can be your mother “.

In the same interview, Courtney Love revealed that he would also have liked the contribution of PJ Harveybut that she was “rude” for ignoring the request. “I wanted one of her big Rolling Stones-inspired riffs, we have a relationship; I’ve supported her over the decades, but she chose not to respond to me,” Love commented: “So, I wrote to her about how rude she was. His manager has tried to smooth things over, but it’s not good: he hasn’t played rock music in 100 years! His first five albums are fantastic; after which she ventured into the art space.”
