Back in the early ’90s, Soundgarden were at the forefront of the grunge movement. Here in 2012, singer Chris Cornell tells the Sun that he feels another musical shift in primed for the taking.
Chris Cornell has been getting intimate with audiences across the world during his acoustic Songbook Tour over the past year. The Soundgarden front man recently played a solo show in London, where he broke out a rendition of the Beatles‘ ‘Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band’ classic ‘A Day in the Life.’
Chris Cornell stopped by Rolling Stone magazine recently to drop a little bomb. Soundgarden is back together and is almost finished with a new album! We optimistically saw this coming when the band announced a reunion last year with a few live shows and then released their first live album earlier this year.
With his third solo album, 2009′s ‘Scream,’ Soundgarden singer Chris Cornell surprised and frustrated longtime fans by abandoning heavy guitars and exploring more pop- and hip-hop-flavored textures.
So what should the Soundgarden faithful expect from the recently reunited band, which is working on its first studio album since 1996? According to Cornell, something unlike its back catalog, but not necessarily a drastic departure, either.
