Limited vinyl LP pressing including digital download. Digitally remastered edition of the 1999 debut solo album from the Grammy-winning, Golden Globe- nominated singer/songwriter and Soundgarden/Audioslave frontman. The album’s title has been restored to the originally intended Euphoria Mourning (he had been dissuaded from this original title and reluctantly dubbed it Euphoria Morning). Euphoria Mourning was Cornell’s only album between the split of Soundgarden until he joined members of Rage Against the Machine in forming Audioslave. The album was a collaboration with Alain Johannes and Natasha Shneider of the band Eleven, who appeared on the album, co-wrote five of the tracks and were credited as co-producers, engineers and mixers with Cornell.

Description Hide Show Chris Cornell’s debut solo album, Euphoria Mourning, released on September 21, 1999, is a deeply introspective and sonically rich work that showcases the late artist’s incredible range and emotional depth. Known primarily as the frontman of Soundgarden and later Audioslave, Cornell used this album to explore a more personal and experimental side of his artistry, stepping away from the heavier grunge sound that defined much of his earlier career. The album was originally titled Euphoria Morning, but Cornell later revealed that the misspelling was unintentional, a result of a clerical error. Despite this, the title seems fitting in its own way, as the music often feels like a hazy, dreamlike journey through the highs and lows of human emotion. The production, handled by Alain Johannes and Natasha Shneider of the band Eleven, is lush and layered, providing a perfect backdrop for Cornell’s unmistakable voice. One of the standout tracks is “Can’t Change Me”, which was also the album’s lead single. The song is a poignant meditation on love and self-awareness, with a melody that lingers long after the final note. Cornell’s vocal performance here is nothing short of stunning, effortlessly moving between vulnerability and power. The track earned a Grammy nomination for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance, a testament to its impact. Another highlight is “Preaching the End of the World”, a hauntingly beautiful ballad that captures a sense of existential longing. The lyrics, which describe a desire for connection in the face of impending doom, feel especially poignant given Cornell’s later struggles with mental health. The song’s stripped-down arrangement allows his voice to take centre stage, drawing the listener into its intimate narrative. “Flutter Girl” and “When I’m Down” are further examples of Cornell’s ability to convey raw emotion through his music. The former, originally a Soundgarden demo, finds new life here with its melancholic yet hopeful tone, while the latter features a soulful piano accompaniment that underscores the depth of his songwriting. What sets Euphoria Mourning apart is its willingness to take risks. Tracks like “Wave Goodbye”, written as a tribute to Jeff Buckley, and “Sweet Euphoria”, a delicate acoustic piece, demonstrate Cornell’s versatility and willingness to push beyond the boundaries of rock. The album as a whole feels like a cohesive statement, unified by its introspective themes and intricate arrangements. While the album received critical acclaim upon its release, it didn’t achieve the commercial success of Cornell’s work with Soundgarden or Audioslave. However, it has since been recognised as a hidden gem in his discography, appreciated for its artistic ambition and emotional honesty. In 2015, the album was reissued under its intended title, Euphoria Morning, giving it a second chance to reach a wider audience. Listening to Euphoria Mourning today, it’s impossible not to be struck by the sheer talent and vulnerability that Chris Cornell brought to his music. The album serves as a reminder of his unique voice, both literally and figuratively, and his ability to connect with listeners on a deeply personal level. It’s a work that deserves to be revisited and celebrated, not just as a solo effort, but as a testament to the enduring power of his artistry. Product Reviews Hide Show Write a Review
