Play it by Ear - Timbaland helps rock star Cornell 'Scream' into the pop scene Mar 17, 2009
But in reality it seems to be a rather logical step for each of them: Timbaland, who has worked with artists ranging from Rihanna to OneRepublic, clearly sees Cornell as a new challenge, while Cornell, never afraid to reinvent himself, sees Timbaland as the key to regaining the success he had with his last collaborative project, Audioslave (former Soundgarden singer + former Rage Against the Machine members = sold out stadiums). So the plan makes sense; now the question is, did it work. (University News, MO)

The credit - or blame, depending on the song - lies mostly with Timbaland, who simply plops the former Soundgarden frontman's voice into the sea of burping synths, celestial choirs, and fuzz that are the producer's undeniably funky signature.
