Former Hole screamer and widow of Kurt Cobain Courtney Love has reportedly scrapped her next solo album, some three years in the making, to collaborate with the ex-guitarist of Larrikin Love.

The solo LP - working title Nobody's Daughter - had been in progress since 2005; she'd released debut solo offering America's Sweetheart (review) a year earlier. Involved in the new album were Linda Perry and Billy Corgan. Now, Micko Larkin.

Larkin is said to be in Los Angeles working with Love on completely new material. Larrikin Love split up in 2007 after one LP release, The Freedom Spark, which made number 37 on the albums chart in 2006 (review).

lol

they were on this atrocious channel 4 "documentary" about what made things "cool" the other morning, it was so terrible it made me want to kick in the TV. Larrakin Love were portrayed as being the new Libertines or something, they weren't that great by the looks of them...

She must have spent all of kurt's money by now, what does she live on???

^Good name

This is bad news, though. Scrapping a record after three years won't necessarily kickstart the creative process. Still, she'll be able to dip back in for the good stuff (Sunset Marquis was pretty good, I thought).
