Unable to tour with Pearl Jam due to the pandemic, Eddie Vedder took advantage of this forced break to record a new solo album, eleven years after his acoustic Ukulele Songs. Earthling returns to more electric sounds (to the point where some songs could (and perhaps should) really have ended up on a new album by the Seattle band which Vedder fronts so well). The artist has surrounded himself with a stellar group of people for this record. His backing band is a real dream team: Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers), Josh Klingoffer (ex-Red Hot Chili Peppers and current live guitarist for Pearl Jam), Chris Chaney (Jane's Addiction), Glen Hansard (the Frames) and producer-guitarist Andrew Watt. Together, they’ve created a rock album that effortlessly surfs between accessible pop melodies and powerful riffs.
Earthling is an assortment of songs that, by their very nature, make the album feel like a classic rock collection, pulling Vedder away from the sound that brought him success and bringing him closer to artists like Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty, and John Mellencamp. A rather commendable comparison, even if some of the compositions lack the depth that would make them absolute classics. Eddie Vedder’s voice is his real superpower —you could listen to it all night long, even if it were only reciting the Yellow Pages. Long Way is nothing short of mesmerising with its pop feel, and there’s a cheeky wink to the Pearl Jam fans with Brother the Cloud and The Haves. At its core, Earthling is an album with an undeniably rocky sound. An elegant offering from this exceptional artist who has, yet again, proved just how wide his stylistic palette really is. This album is guaranteed to appeal to a wide audience without needing to fall back on fancy production or effects. © Chief Brody/Qobuz
