Metric’s Emily HainesGoing it Alone
Plenty of musicians leave successful groups to go solo. But while some reach new heights of success (Peter Gabriel, Justin Timberlake) others...not so much (Ringo Starr anyone?). We look at the finer points of launching a solo career. Also: Singer-songwriter Emily Haines takes time out from the Canadian indie rock band Metric for a solo tour and a live performance in the Soundcheck studios. This is an encore edition of Soundcheck.
