Larsen B Posted April 2, 2005 Report Share Posted April 2, 2005 BILLY CORGAN has announced details of his debut solo album.The former Smashing Pumpkins and Zwan frontman will release THEFUTUREEMBRACE on June 21 before beginning an American tour.The 11-song record includes a cover of the Bee Gees 'To Love Somebody featuring backing vocals from The Cures Robert Smith, while former Smashing Pumpkins drummer Jimmy Chamberlin features on DIA, Billboard.com reports.The albums track-listing is:All Things Change Mina Loy (M.O.H.) TheCameraEye To Love Somebody A100 DIA Now (And Then) I'm Ready Walking Shade Sorrows (in blue) Pretty, pretty STAR StrayzI tried to sum up all my feelings about my life and the world around me in the most beautiful ways I could dream up, said Corgan of the new album It is easy to be negative, and much harder to find that silver lining behind the clouds of modern society."I look forward to this because i'm not quite sure what to expect from it, although Billy has stated that it will rawk. Bee Gees cover version could be interesting although the Robert Smith collaboration seems a predictable one and kind of pointless too.

Alkaline Posted April 2, 2005 Report Share Posted April 2, 2005 I'm hoping this will be good. I wasn't overwhelmed by Zwan, i wasn't underwhelmed either tho. But yes, it will be good to have something musical out of Corgan 'cause he is an awesome songwriter and roping in people like Robert Smith only makes me more interested.

HeinzHines Posted April 2, 2005 Report Share Posted April 2, 2005 It had fucking better be better than Zwan or i am personally going to kick Billy Corgan's ass if its not!Im pretty stoked that Jimmy Chamberlin has been asked to do a track....he is an aswesome drummer, but i fear for herion overdoses like the good old days....

Mellon Collie is perhaps slightly overrated but it absolutely brilliant. Wish there were more artists around with Billy Corgan's ambition.
