CHRIS CORNELL Talks New Solo Album; Video Available
March 16, 2009Skee.TV recently sat down with former AUDIOSLAVE/SOUNDGARDEN singer Chris Cornell to discuss his latest solo album, "Scream", and take questions directly from fans via Twitter.com/ChrisCornell. Watch the 30-minute clip below.
According to Hits Daily Double, the companion web site of music industry tip sheet HITS, "Scream" is on track to move between 20,000 and 25,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release.
Released on March 10 via Interscope/Mosley Music, "Scream" "showcases a new, seductive sound — dark, multi-layered and full of puzzles and surprises," according to a press release. "The songs bring a new cinematic scope to Cornell's performances, with potent visual imagery echoing the non-stop musical assault from his internationally acclaimed live band." "Musically, this is the most ambitious thing I've been a part of. It's almost like a movie soundtrack," says Cornell.
Critical and fan response to the disc has been less than enthusiastic, with Rolling Stone magazine calling it "a strange mutation."
Chris will kick off his multi-city U.S. tour on March 28 in Dallas, Texas.
