CORNELL SETS RELEASE DATE FOR NEW ALBUM

Chris Cornell has been talking about his forthcoming solo album SCREAM and how it differs from his previous work.

Fans of the singer are used to his superlunged performances in bands such as SOUNDGARDEN and AUDIOSLAVE, but the new record is much less full-throttle, reports Music Radar.

The album has been recorded with much sought-after pop producer TIMBALAND and songs which have recently appeared online confirm that it is a radical change of direction for the rock vocalist.

"Tim lent a lot to what I describe as sort of the psychedelic aspect of this album," says Cornell," kind of a Pink Floyd or Dark Side Of The Moon or almost like a Queen Night At The Opera-type of feel to me," said Chris.

He added that he would have thought he would be the one to push it in a rock direction, but that it was the producer's influence which "pushed it more in that direction."

Cornell was recently heard on the theme tune for James Bond film Casino Royale.

I'm VERY excited about the new Chris Cornell album. I think that the best song is "Never Far Away," but all of the 5 others that I have heard are AWESOME and I keep getting them stuck in my head! Anyway, give it a listen -- and educate yourself about Timbaland and the collaboration BEFORE you decide to pass judgment. Cornell is a musical genius and his voice sounds great -- no matter WHAT genre he sings. Cornell will be on Jay Leno on Friday (August 08/2008) -- check out his performance of "Long Gone" and THEN decide what you think . . . but I already KNOW that it's awesome!

Chris Rocks!!!! "If you get into a kind of comfortable corner, where you're doing what you're used to — you're doing what you know how to do — you can get locked in that corner and stuck there and you're done. That's never going to happen to me." - interview with Matt Pinfield on on New York's 101.9 FM, July 2008
