About this album

Universal Music GmbH (2006) Released: 12 May 2006 12 tracks (50:25)
Celebrity Skin is the third studio album by the American rock band Hole, released worldwide by Geffen Records on September 7, 1998 and one day later in the United States. Similarly to vocalist and guitarist Courtney Love’s refined image during this era, the sound of the album itself moved away from Hole’s harder alternative rock past and toward a cleaner and more radio friendly pop rock format. It was Hole’s most commercially succesful album, garnering them a #1 hit single on the Modern Rock Tracks chart with the title track. Critical reaction to the album was largely positive, though not as universally so as the band’s previous record, Live Through This.

Courtney Love penned all of the lyrics and the music was written by the band. Some songs were co-authored by Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan. The studio work took almost a year and a half, due to Love’s rising movie career, fruitless recording attempts in New Orleans and Nashville in 1997, Corgan’s involvement in songwriting and the actual album sessions, between Los Angeles, New York City, London and Miami.
