....his solo album. On a cover of The Bee Gees "To Love Somebody", to be precise. Old-ish news, but I didn't know until a day or two ago.

Billy Corgan, with his new poetry book Blinking with Fists currently sitting at #24 on the New York Times Best Seller list, has apparently finished his solo album. According to Corgan, this album is truly a solo effort as he plays all the instruments himself. When asked if he has any special guest artists on the new album, Corgan explained that he brought in Robert Smith of The Cure to help him sing a version of the Bee Gee's "To Love Somebody."

"No my solo album truly is solo. It's pretty much all me. There's only one guest musician that's Robert Smith from The Cure who's on one song." Corgan went on to add "I do a cover of a Bee Gees song from the 60's called 'To Love Somebody' and he sings on that with me. It's really beautiful; I'm really excited about it."
With such influential albums from The Smashing Pumpkins and Zwan already to his credit, Corgan isn't the only one excited about his much anticipated solo album, which is slated for a Spring 2005 release.
