Shirley Manson of Garbage spoke to The Scotsman about her forever-in-the-works and apparently now on-hold solo album:
An interesting slew of names has been connected with the project – everyone from Jack White of the White Stripes to Paul Buchanan of the Blue Nile, Billy Corgan of Smashing Pumpkins and solo singer Beck. But whether some, all or none of these have been involved (Manson, in one of her more stubborn moments, refuses to elaborate), the project has hit the rocks.
“I had a lot of material, but unfortunately I played it for my record label and they thought it was very ‘noir’, which I took as a huge compliment until I got home and realised they didn’t mean it as a compliment at all. As a result we’re sort of at an impasse. I don’t know what will happen. I think, maybe, they have a different idea of the kind of career I should have to the one that I want.”
