Courtney Love Names Kendrick Lamar and Lana Del Rey as Dream Collaborators, Walks Back PJ Harvey Praise


Love also confirms appearance of R.E.M.'s Michael Stipe and Echo & the Bunnymen's Will Sergeant on her forthcoming solo album.

Having released America’s Sweetheart in February 2004 following the breakup of Hole two years prior, Love’s debut record didn’t set the world ablaze, only hitting No. In an earlier interview with The Standard in April, Love namechecked Harvey as a female artist she’s fond of, alongside Nina Simone, Patti Smith, Julie London, and early Joni Mitchell. While noting in the same interview she’d begun growing tired of Lana Del Rey, Love cited Harvey’s “first four albums” as her favorite period of the musician’s discography.
