Page "Chris Cornell" Paragraph 9

In 1998, Cornell began working on material for a solo album on which he collaborated with Alain Johannes and Natasha Shneider of the band Eleven.

The album, titled Euphoria Morning, was released on September 21, 1999.

The album proved commercially unsuccessful although the album's single " Can't Change Me " was nominated for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance at the 2000 Grammy Awards.

Euphoria Morning includes " Wave Goodbye ", Cornell's tribute to his late friend Jeff Buckley.

It has been noted that Euphoria Morning is influenced by Buckley's songwriting and distinctive vocal style.

He also contributed the song " Sunshower " ( a bonus track on the Japanese release of Euphoria Morning ) to the soundtrack of the 1998 film, Great Expectations, and a reworked version of the track " Mission ", retitled " Mission 2000 ", was used on the soundtrack to the 2000 film, Mission: Impossible II.

In 2000, Cornell embarked on a tour in support of the album.
