This is a list of the discography of Scottish recording artist Shirley Manson, who has performed as the lead singer of American rock band Garbage since 1993.
A few months into Garbage's hiatus, Manson began writing a solo record, working with musician Paul Buchanan,[3] producer Greg Kurstin,[4] and film composer David Arnold.
[7] Manson continued to write material while without a record deal and was in talks with David Byrne and Ray Davies about a potential collaboration.
[8] Manson posted three demos on her Facebook profile, written by her and Kurstin, titled "In the Snow",[4] "Pretty Horses"[9] and "Lighten Up".
Manson also worked with a number of artists outside of her solo project, reciting a verse of a long poem for a Chris Connelly album,[11] co-writing and recording a duet with Eric Avery for his solo debut,[12] recording with Debbie Harry[13] and performing backing vocals on a Gavin Rossdale track.
[67] Due to litigation problems surrounding Manson's contractual obligation to Radioactive Records, further collaborations with both Fun Lovin' Criminals[68] and Moby[69] were unable to proceed.
[77] Upon her taking on the role of Catherine Weaver in Terminator... and on the encouragement of series' composer Bear McCreary, Manson was asked by showrunner Josh Friedman to perform and co-create a gospel arrangement of "Samson and Delilah" for the opening episode of the second season.
In 2002, electronic group West London Deep sampled Manson's vocal from "You Look So Fine" in their white label track "You're Taking Me Over".
