Shirley Manson has lavished praise on her friend and collaborator Brody Dalle, calling her a "rare" and "very talented" artist.
Speaking to Styleite, the Garbage frontwoman hailed the former Distillers turned solo star, saying she 'couldn't say enough good things about her'.
"I love her as a woman, but I also find her a pretty exciting artist, and the kind of artist who hasn’t been given a lot of column space over the last decade," said Manson. "Girls like Brody, who are pointing their nose at the mainstream, are rare right now, and it was a privilege for me to work with her and hear her sing."
Manson recently lent her vocals to Dalle's debut solo single 'Meet the Foetus/Oh the Joy', and said of the experience: "It literally brought me to the brink of tears, because it was so wild and feral sounding. To hear that power coming out of a woman is so rare right now, so it was exciting for me.
"The thing people don’t really know about Brody is that she’s also a great guitarist. She can really play, she’s not just up there posing with a guitar. She’s a very talented musician, and a very generous one. I can’t say enough good things about her," she added.
