Shirley Manson, the Scottish chanteuse on leave from her American band Garbage, is in the midst of recording her debut solo album with a release tentatively set for late fall. Among the contributors to the album: Garbage's Butch Vig, Smashing Pumpkins' Billy Corgan, Beck, Bird and the Bee's Greg Kurstin, White Stripes' Jack White and, in a somewhat odd pairing, fellow Scot Paul Buchanan of moody cult band The Blue Nile.
Meanwhile, the forthcoming career-spanning collection "Absolute Garbage" will finally arrive July 17 and will contain one recently-recorded new song "Tell Me Where It Hurts." A Sophie Muller-directed video of the single is coming soon. A limited edition version of the retrospective will also include a second disc of remixes.
Tell Me Where It Hurts just leaked today! No mp3 just yet!
