Billy Corgan

Musician

William Patrick Corgan (born March 17, 1967) is an American musician, singer, songwriter, and lead singer/guitarist best known as the frontman and primary songwriter of the Smashing Pumpkins.

Lead singer and primary songwriter of The Smashing Pumpkins; formed the band Zwan; released the solo album The Future Embrace (2005); collaborated with Robert Smith on a recording of "To Love Somebody" (appearing on reviews of The Future Embrace).

Three DeBaser reviews discuss Billy Corgan's 2005 solo album The Future Embrace. Critics praise moments of songwriting and electronic experimentation but fault production choices and a perceived loss of earlier rock aggression. Overall reaction is ambivalent, with fans divided.

For:Fans of Smashing Pumpkins, listeners of alternative rock and electronic-leaning solo work, music critics and archivists.

 Goodbye Billy, despite everything you remain one of my favorites, but please... next time... SHOW SOME BALLS!

 "To Love Somebody," a suggestive duet between two icons Billy Corgan - Robert Smith with a heart-in-throat finale, melancholic and dragged away by Smith's painful and unmistakable guitar.
