Boy/girl pop over modern RnB mixed with Goth rock, with only the most essential of notes and drum hits kept on tape.

Chris Cornell feat. Timbaland – Long Gone
There’s no doubt most of the old Soundgarden singers latest album was garbage, but this track is a guilty pleasure. Cornell does still have a good voice and Timbaland can still wrangle a solid beat, when he puts those filters on the guitar solo towards the end, nice…
