It was Chris Cornell, however, who shined like a beacon with his piercing voice and metaphysical, mercurial songwriting. After Nirvana changed the tide in music, a number of bands then flooded in. Chris Cornell was certainly at the forefront of this Grunge Movement, a movement that seemingly moved at the speed of sound. Moreover, when it came to imagining what a solo Cliff Poncier recording would sound like, Cornell surprised Crowe with a fully recorded EP sung in the vein of Poncier (one song of which became the fully realized Cornell song 'Seasons' on the film's soundtrack). After all, the film score, vignette title cards' music, and even a fiery onscreen concert appearance of Soundgarden's 'Birth Ritual' were contributed by Cornell. Cornell may not have taken Crowe up on the acting offer, but Cornell certainly ended up as an omnipotent presence of sorts in Singles. In fact, Crowe admits to being partial to Soundgarden he even invited Cornell to star in Singles as soul-searching rocker Cliff Poncier (eventually played by Matt Dillon). Crowe happened to be one of those fans, and recognized Cornell's talent early on. After all, the world of music lost Cornell, one of the sons of Seattle music who was oftentimes regarded by fans and critics alike as one of the greatest voices in rock history. Since the breaking of this news, retrospectives of Cornell's career and, likewise, the Seattle scene have been trending. On May 18, 2017, one of Seattle's sons of music, singer-songwriter Chris Cornell tragically passed. Where is the 'Misty Mountain Hop,' where is the, is the 'Smoke on the Water'. Where are the anthems for our youth? What happened to music that meant something? The Who at the Kingdome, or Kiss at the Coliseum. Nirvana may have kicked open the door on The Emerald City's music on Septemwith the release of the album, Nevermind, still it was a only a matter of months until Crowe's Original Motion Picture Soundtrack for Singles, consisting primarily of Seattle's then-local music (sans Nirvana), gave voice to pioneers of what would eventually be dubbed Grunge Music. With Singles, Crowe helped make a local music scene global. Crowe's affinity for music is deep and can be traced to his childhood when he began serving as a rock journalist for Rolling Stone magazine (as seen in Crowe's 2000 semi-autobiographical film, Almost Famous) when it comes to trends in music though, Crowe's instincts are especially impeccable on this nearly 25-year old to date collection. Back in 1992, Crowe not only assembled one of the most critically lauded soundtracks of all time for his Seattle-centered romcom, Singles, he helped forge one of the last significant cultural movements of Rock 'N Roll. In fact, the experience is a lot like the line from Crowe's motion picture Singles, in which the character of Doug Hughley (played by Jeremy Piven) comments, 'You're the only man I know who could mix Elvis Costello and Public Enemy!' That line might as well be directed at Crowe himself that is Crowe's mixtape prowess. Listening to a Crowe soundtrack is an intriguing adventure filled with carefully curated juxtapositions. uh, a big record just broke in Belgium.ДЄ Cameron Crowe film tends to have a 'killer' soundtrack. Well, I don't like to reduce us to just being part of the 'Seattle Sound.' I'd like to think of us as expanding more.
