Courtney Love has released a new single, Mother, from the soundtrack to upcoming movie The Turning.
While the world is still awaiting confirmation of a potential Hole reunion, Courtney Love has just released a new song, Mother, as part of the soundtrack to upcoming movie The Turning.
Ahead of the release of the Floria Sigismondi-directed film on January 24, Courtney has unveiled the opening song from its soundtrack – and revealed that it was a "genuine privilege" to work with Floria, as well as Mother co-writer Lawrence Rothman, on the project.
“I’ve long admired her work, particularly The Runaways and the Marilyn Manson videos," Courtney says. "Floria and Lawrence had a clear vision on what they wanted to achieve and it was an honour to be invited into their studio and to become a part of it.”

“There’s nothing wrong with honouring your past; I’ve just kind of discovered that," she said. "If you don’t, people will rewrite history and you will become an inconvenient woman.”
