As Empire’s ratings continue to grow each week, the hip-hop drama has begun to roll out its many guest stars who shake up Empire Entertainment and the Lyon family. Following appearances by Naomi Campbell and Cuba Gooding Jr., Courtney Love is preparing for an arc that will begin in the show’s sixth episode, “Out, Damned Spot,” and a song her character will be singing is now available to stream below. The rock star and actress will be playing singer Elle Dallas, a member of the Empire Entertainment family. In her first episode, Love’s character will cover Al Green’s classic “Take Me to the River,” adding her signature rasp and snarl to the soul standard.
