For me it's Neko Case in any of her bands.

For me, has always been Chris Cornell. Absolutely gutted when he died, knowing I'd never hear anything new from him again.

My husband was so depressed when he died.

Yeah. Superunknown was the first CD I bought. I used to listen to it non stop on my shitty discman that the stabilisation was broken on, so I had to walk around like I was serving customers in a restaurant. I then discovered all his other stuff, including Temple of the Dog which was a mind-blown moment for me. Realising all the voices I knew did other side projects/had history in other projects....

Don’t worry, they’ll AI his voice.

Listen to There I Ruined It. This guy does AI singing as perfect at it as I’ve ever heard.

Oh, I don't disagree AI could produce something that sounds authentic. No doubt at all. It's just that, when it comes to vocalists like Cornell, there's a depth of feeling in the voice that AI just won't be able to reproduce. It's hard to put it into words.

That moment when Dave Draiman hits the neon god line? It's like getting punched in the heart with a horse tranquilizer loaded with emotion. Technology can't do that.

I used to think the same thing but then I heard what they did with Louis Armstrong. May as well be him. AI alone can’t do it, no. But AI tweaked by a human certainly can.
