A posthumous Chris Cornell album has been digitally released by his family.
Recorded in 2016, 'No One Sings Like You Anymore' serves as the late vocalist's last fully completed studio LP, and finds him covering 10 songs by a diverse selection of artists, including Prince, John Lennon, Electric Light Orchestra, Janis Joplin, Harry Nilsson and more.
Cornell's cover of Guns N' Roses' Patience, which landed in July on what would've been his 56th birthday, is also included on the record. Check out the artwork above and tracklist below. A physical release will follow on March 19.
All instruments were played by the Soundgarden and Audioslave frontman and Brendan O'Brien, who also handled production and mixing. Cornell's widow, Vicky said:
"This album is so special because it is a complete work of art that Chris created from start to finish. His choice of covers provides a personal look into his favourite artists and the songs that touched him. He couldn't wait to release it.
"This moment is bittersweet because he should be here doing it himself, but it is with both heartache and joy that we share this special album.
"All of us could use his voice to help heal and lift us this year, especially during the holiday season. I am so proud of him and this stunning record, which to me illustrates why he will always be beloved, honored, and one the greatest voices of our time."
Chris Cornell died in May 2017 aged 52.
