Penyanyi 90an: Chris Cornell, Pionir Band Grunge Bersuara Unik

Fimela.com, Jakarta Kabar kepergian musisi Chris Cornell untuk selamanya begitu mengejutkan, terutama bagi keluarga, rekan di dunia musik, dan tentunya penggemar. Ia menghembuskan napas terakhir pada Rabu (17/5) di Detroit, Michigan, Amerika Serikat.

Cornell selama ini dikenal sebagai pionir dan penggerak band grunge yang memiliki suara yang unik. Kekuatan suaranya ditunjukkan dengan vocal range Cornell yang mampu menyentuh angka empat oktaf.

Musikalitasnya yang apik membawa Cornell membentuk band Soundgarden tahun 1984 silam. Bersama Kim Thyail (gitaris) dan Hiro Yamamoto (bassis), mereka menjadi band grunge pertama yang menandatangani kontrak dengan label besar A&M Records pada tahun 1988.

Namun sayang, band pelantun Black Hole Sun ini harus bubar tahun 1997 karena masalah internal. Hal tersebut membuat Cornell memutuskan untuk bersolo karier. Baru tahun 2001, Chris bersama Tom Morello, Tim Commerford dan Brad Wilk membentuk band Audioslave.

Selama bersolo karier, Chris Cornell telah merilis empat album solo Euphoria Morning (1999), Carry On (2007), Scream (2009), and Higher Truth (2015). Mari mengenang warisan karya terbaik Cornell.

Chris Cornell - Can't Change Me

She can do anything at all
Have anything she pleases
The power to change what she thinks is wrong
What could she want with me yeah

Wait just one minute here
I can see that she's trying to read me
Suddenly I know

She's going to change the world
But she can't change me
No she can't change me

She has the daylight at her command
She gives the night its dreams yeah
She can uncover your darkest fears
Make you forget you feel them

Wait just one minute more
I can see that she's trying to free me
Suddenly I know

She's going to change the world
But she can't change me
No she can't change me

Suddenly I can see everything that's wrong
With me yeah
What can I do I'm the only thing I really have
At all

Wait just one minute here
I can see that she's trying to need me
Suddenly I know

She's going to change the world
But she can't change me
No she can't change me
