No One Sings Like You Anymore by Chris Cornell

No One Sings Like You Anymore, Vol. 1 arrived on December 11, 2020, with no warning at all: Chris Cornell's estate and Universal Music Enterprises simply put it out, more than 3 years after the singer died in May 2017. It's his fifth studio album and a covers record, ten songs he recorded and sequenced himself in 2016, stretching from Harry Nilsson's "Jump into the Fire" and John Lennon's "Watching the Wheels" to Prince's "Nothing Compares 2 U". Even the title is borrowed from Soundgarden's "Black Hole Sun".

The voice is the whole point, and he treats these songs like a man stepping into other people's houses and rearranging the furniture to fit his range. The first taste was his take on Guns N' Roses' "Patience", issued on July 20, 2020, in honor of what would have been his 56th birthday, and it became his first solo song to top Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart. Physical copies followed in March 2021.
