Bold new sounds for a bold new decade.

Glenn Frey’s partnership with Don Henley formed the band’s centerpiece, but they’ve gone on without him.

A journey through Ozzy Osbourne’s solo output seems to mirror the Black Sabbath icon’s life and times.

Audioslave was a rock supergroup that brought together the powerful vocals of Chris Cornell with the instrumental force of three former members of Rage Against the Machine. Formed in Glendale, California, in 2001, the band consisted of Cornell (lead vocals), Tom Morello (guitar), Tim Commerford (bass), and Brad Wilk (drums). After Rage Against the Machine disbanded in 2000 due to Zack de la Rocha’s departure, the remaining members sought a new frontman. A meeting with Cornell, previously of Soundgarden, resulted in an immediate musical connection, and Audioslave was born. Their debut self-titled album in 2002 introduced the band’s fusion of hard rock, alternative metal, and elements of 1970s-style blues rock.

The band’s first album, Audioslave (2002), was a commercial success, debuting at number seven on the Billboard 200 and eventually going triple platinum in the United States. The album featured hit singles such as “Cochise,” “Like a Stone,” and “Show Me How to Live,” showcasing Cornell’s soaring vocals and Morello’s signature guitar effects. “Like a Stone” became one of their most successful songs, reaching number one on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart. The album also demonstrated their ability to blend heavy riffs with introspective lyrics, setting the tone for their future releases.

In 2005, Audioslave released their second album, Out of Exile, which marked a turning point in their sound. The album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, a first for the band. Songs like “Be Yourself” and “Doesn’t Remind Me” became radio staples, demonstrating a more refined, melodic approach compared to their debut. The album’s success proved that Audioslave was more than just a combination of its members’ previous bands—they had developed a unique identity that resonated with both rock and alternative audiences.

The band’s third and final studio album, Revelations, was released in 2006. While it did not reach the same commercial heights as its predecessor, it featured notable tracks such as “Original Fire” and “Revelations.” The album incorporated elements of funk and soul into their signature hard rock sound, displaying the band’s willingness to experiment. However, tensions within the band, coupled with Cornell’s desire to focus on his solo career, led to Audioslave’s breakup in early 2007.

Despite their relatively short career, Audioslave left a lasting impact on the rock genre. They were nominated for three Grammy Awards and sold millions of records worldwide. Their music was praised for blending heavy instrumentation with socially conscious and introspective lyrics, making them one of the most distinct rock bands of the early 2000s. Songs like “Like a Stone” and “Be Yourself” remain anthems for fans, proving the band’s enduring appeal.

Beyond music, Audioslave became the first American rock band to perform in Cuba, playing a historic free concert in Havana in 2005. This groundbreaking event was a landmark moment in rock history, symbolizing the unifying power of music across political boundaries. Additionally, the individual members have been involved in various charitable efforts, with Morello continuing his activism through projects like Prophets of Rage and the Axis of Justice.

Audioslave briefly reunited for a one-off performance in 2017 at the Anti-Inaugural Ball, an event protesting the political climate at the time. Tragically, just months later, Chris Cornell passed away in May 2017, ending any hopes of a full-fledged reunion. Despite their brief time together, Audioslave remains a significant band in rock history, remembered for their unique fusion of styles, powerful performances, and the lasting impact of their music.

Janey Roberts lives in Chelsea, London. She has worked for various British musical publications writing album and concert reviews. Originally from Balboa Park, San Diego, Janey brings an international cross cultural perspective to rock journalism.

Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll, hailing from Barranquilla, Colombia, has emerged as one of the most transformative figures in global music. Known for her ability to seamlessly blend Latin, rock, and pop influences, Shakira’s artistry transcends cultural and linguistic boundaries. From her humble beginnings as a child prodigy in Colombia to becoming a worldwide sensation, her career is a testament to innovation and resilience.

Shakira’s musical journey began at a young age when she wrote her first song at eight and secured her first record deal with Sony Music Colombia at just 13. Her early albums, Magia (1990) and Peligro (1993), laid the groundwork for her career but struggled to gain commercial traction. It wasn’t until her third album, Pies Descalzos (1995), featuring hits like “Estoy Aquí,” that Shakira catapulted to stardom in Latin America. Her distinctive voice, poetic lyricism, and genre-defying compositions resonated deeply with audiences.

Her international breakthrough came with Laundry Service (2001), a bilingual album that introduced the world to hits such as “Whenever, Wherever” and “Underneath Your Clothes.” The album sold over 13 million copies worldwide, establishing Shakira as a global phenomenon. Known for her captivating live performances, she became synonymous with precision choreography and her signature hip movements, epitomized by “Hips Don’t Lie,” a chart-topping single from Oral Fixation, Vol. 2 (2005). The song became one of the best-selling singles of the 21st century.

Throughout her career, Shakira has released 11 studio albums, including the critically acclaimed Fijación Oral, Vol. 1 (2005), She Wolf (2009), and El Dorado (2017). Her discography spans Spanish and English, cementing her status as one of the most versatile artists of her generation. Songs like “Waka Waka (This Time for Africa),” the official anthem of the 2010 FIFA World Cup, further solidified her global influence, blending African rhythms with pop accessibility.

Shakira’s accolades include three Grammy Awards, 12 Latin Grammy Awards, and multiple Billboard and American Music Awards, making her one of the most decorated Latin artists in history. Beyond her commercial success, Shakira’s humanitarian work has further endeared her to fans. In 1997, she founded the Pies Descalzos Foundation, which focuses on providing education and nutrition to underprivileged children in Colombia. Her efforts earned her recognition as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, highlighting her commitment to social change.

Despite her immense success, Shakira has remained a symbol of authenticity and cultural pride. She continues to push boundaries, collaborating with artists like Beyoncé, Maluma, and the Black Eyed Peas, showcasing her ability to adapt to evolving musical landscapes. In 2020, her electrifying performance at the Super Bowl Halftime Show alongside Jennifer Lopez reinforced her position as a cultural icon.

From her early days as a singer-songwriter in Colombia to becoming a global ambassador for music and philanthropy, Shakira’s impact on the music industry and beyond is undeniable. Her career serves as an inspiring blueprint for artists seeking to fuse creativity with social consciousness, leaving an indelible mark on both the entertainment world and the lives she has touched through her charitable endeavors.
