Scream by Chris Cornell ; CD released on Mar.10, 09

Chris Cornell is a rock icon who thrives on contradictions. An innovator who resists genre labels, he was the main architect of the jaren'90 grunge movement. Often ranked as one of the best voices in music history, he has successfully maintained his own unique identity on more than two decades as a multi-Grammy Award winning musician and universally acclaimed singer, songwriter and lyricist.

Seattle trail blazers Soundgarden was one law for themselves, edgy, dark and deeply individual. Their savage soundscapes, coupled with Cornell's incisive lyrics and predatory roar, seduced audience hungry for musical depth and complexity while leading trends in street fashion and iconic design. In 1989, she became the first Seattle band to sign to a major label. Their sound continued to change and evolve in the course of five pioneering albums.

Celebrated side project Temple of the Dog had already shown Cornell's more soulful side and introduced future Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder to the world. Later, Cornell shocked the business once again with richly melodic, critically acclaimed solo album "Euphoria Morning", quickly recognized the alienation and despair. And as the millennium turned, that he together with three other musical pioneers from rap-rock of Rage Against The Machine to create Audioslave - a multi-platinum supergroup which lived to deny its opponents, the three best-selling albums, touring the world and to first American band to bring rock to Castro's Cuba.

Since then, Cornell has redefined his image and sound to new music, new collaborations and new activities. Contributed solo songs to movie soundtracks from "Great Expectations" to "Mission Impossible II" he was the first American male singer to write the theme song for the James Bond franchise in its most successful film to date, "Casino Royale" . His bold and bluesy reinvention of Michael Jackson dance classic "Billie Jean" courted controversy and attracted imitators. And his triumphant 2007 world tour brought songs from every stage of his career, the reinterpretation of it for new audiences and blending their original fire with the shock of the new.

Outside music, Cornell fronted fashion designer John Varvatos collection for spring 2006 and settled in Paris with his family, where he has helped to revive a historic restaurant, the stylish black Calavados.

Only the most confident would claim to predict exactly what is for Chris Cornell. Always eclectic, always experimental, his new collaboration with super-producer Timbaland - who calls their album "the best work I've done in my career" - will give him into fresh territory, establishing a new sound and marking the creation a masterpiece that breaks all musical boundaries. Only one thing is for sure - Chris Cornell will continue to break rules, history and challenge everyone's expectations.
