CD Single Hole – Malibu

Experience the sun-drenched, polished sound of 1990s alternative rock with Hole’s iconic single, "Malibu."

Released on December 29, 1998, through Geffen Records, this enhanced CD single is a standout track from the band’s critically acclaimed third studio album, Celebrity Skin. Co-written by Courtney Love, Eric Erlandson, and Billy Corgan of the Smashing Pumpkins, "Malibu" represents a sophisticated shift in Hole’s sound—moving from the raw grunge of their early years into a melodic, power-pop aesthetic that evokes the "heyday of Californian pop."

More than just a radio hit, "Malibu" is a deeply personal "empathy song" inspired by Love’s memories of the California coast and her relationship with Kurt Cobain. The single was both a commercial and critical powerhouse, peaking at number 3 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart and earning a Grammy nomination in 1999.
