The follow up to their gold selling comeback album "White Light" is currently being written and recorded. More from Jim http://www.musicradar.com/news/the-corrs-jim-corr-talks-signature-avalon-acoustic-gear-tragedies-and-t-bone-burnett:
Who are they?
I loved white light I thought it was a strong comeback from them so I'm glad we will be getting another studio album from them.
Exciting! White Light had some really strong tracks (title track, I Do What I Like), but I figured that would be it for them, not that they'd be completely restarting their career with new album campaigns etc.
People born in 2000 can still use google tho
I would just have assumed that anyone into music enough to be drawn to this site, particularly the chart forum, would have heard of the Corrs even if they hadn't ever heard their music. Their last album even went top 100 in the 2015 End of Year chart.
Breathless >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
TUNE
YES!
I didn't expect another new album either, certainly not so soon (well in Corrs terms it seems like a quick turnaround anyway).
LOOOOVE that they're recording a new album now that SM:TV Live has more or less been confirmed for next year
Loved 'Bring on the Night' and 'I Do What I Like' from the last album - hope this can be as good!
It would be great if the new album can sell at least as well as white light.
New album on November 10, and Royal Albert Hall on 19th October 2017
I like the album title :3
also, excited
Any chance of this being merged with the existing topic mods? http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=201135
Very exciting news mind! I loved 'White Light' so am buzzing to hear the new stuff.
The Coors?
Out 10th November - they're playing Royal Albert Hall again for the first time since their breakthrough show there in 1998 on 19th October.
Will be available on CD AND Vinyl!
Artwork and tracklisting:
I would like a 'Summer Sunshine' type pop banger somewhere amongst this lot please!
Interested in this! I didn't hear much of White Light apart from the singles so will definitely have to check this out.
Merged the 2 threads!
White Light was such a good album, I have high hopes for this, and love the artwork.
The prices for Royal Albert Hall look insane, and I saw them last year at the O2, but I'd love to go...hmm.
That's great news!
I still listen a lot to White Light.
I loved White Light, it was such a strong comeback and it also sold much much better than i thought it would.
I am looking forward to this and its one of the few cd's i know i will definitely be purchasing. I have to say, they have yet to release a bad album, some arent as good as others but every album they done has had some great tracks.
"Son of Solomon" preview
White Light was such a triumphant return from them. An album very strong. It sounded fresh but still kept the traditional Corrs sound to it. I look forward to the new album as i have high hopes for it.
In the words of the famous SMTV parody...'it's byootifull!'
It really is a haunting, stirring kind of song this, very 'Forgiven Not Forgotten' esque. Who knew Andrea could hit those low notes? Majorly excited for the album now!
Gorgeous track, sort of sonically reminds me of Intimacy from Talk On Corners. It's not especially commercial and quite subtle for a lead single but it's really beautiful and the chorus is pretty anthemic in the sort of way that it felt familiar from the first listen.
Very excited for the album!
It has a similar sound to what the done in the early years, this would fit in on Forgiven Not Forgotten.
I do like the song but its not the type of song that would be a hit for them but they know they are an album act only now and its a good song and its a very Irish song.
Slower than I expected for a lead single/track! Nice though. Reserving judgement for the album but this is a positive preview.
Good year for comebacks. Shania Twain, Corrs, Bucks Fizz.
Only lazy Geri Halliwell don't want to rejoice her fans with new album.
Another new track from the album, called SOS, is on Spotify and iTunes, it's rather pleasant with a lovely melodic chorus and a nice violin solo.
The album definitely sounds more organic than White Light based on the first two tracks, more in line with the Forgiven, Not Forgotten sound.
Edit: It's the lead single according to the official Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/thecorrsofficial/videos/10155065134011727/
It's more radio friendly than Son Of Solomon so makes sense.
SOS is Record of the Week at Radio 2 this coming week
Finally got tickets for the Royal Albert Hall concert tomorrow, I just couldn't not go really. The original RAH gig screening is what got me (and nearly everyone else in the UK) properly into the band!
Intrigued and excited to hear the new tracks!
Great gig, they performed a handful from the new album, Road to Eden being my initial favourite, lovely track. Butter Flutter didn’t sound too amazing but maybe the studio version will be better!
They also added a couple of oldies back that weren’t performed on the White Light tour - namely Little Wing and - best of all - Summer Sunshine
Almost finished my first listen. Really loving it, very classic Corrs, back to basics.
It's very in line with their debut album.i do like it but much prefer white light. I'd love the album to go top 10 or even top 15.
It's a very nice album, though I too prefer White Light.
This is the more acoustic/organic side to the band, as opposed to the big pop moments on White Light. There's a place for both but I do think the melodies were stronger on White Light on the whole.
The first half of Jupiter Calling is back to back brilliance, especially Road To Eden and Dear Life. I love everything from Son of Solomon through to (and including) Dear Life, then No Go Baby and Hit The Ground Running are pleasant. Am waiting for the final four tracks to click at the moment.
Such is the high quality of their studio albums that I can see this being my least favourite of theirs, even though it's a 9/10 collection! All of the others are in my all time top 40 albums though, including White Light and In Blue. Forgiven Not Forgotten, Talk On Corners and Borrowed Heaven are in a class of their own.
It is a solid offering from them but its not as strong as previous albums. White Light was a fantastic comeback album and this slightly disappoints. Yet its still a good album.
The album is opening its chart week at number 10 in the mid week chart.
Ive had a chance to give the album a few listens over Christmas. Its a good album but not their best for me. Their is no standout songs that would scream single on the album, not that this would make much difference as the chances of them having a hit single is slim to nothing.
The album is enjoyable although slow placed in parts which made hit the ground running a bit of a surprise as thats the first song that feels uptempo. I think when doing this album they returned to their roots of the first album as that original sound is there.
Its an album im glad i bought as i like it, but White Light was much stronger.
Random but lovely news today: Andrea has signed a book deal for her memoir "Barefoot Pilgrimage", due for publication via HarperCollins in October: https://www.thebookseller.com/news/andrea-corr-s-memoir-goes-harpercollins-1007161
I didn't like this album very much when it came out, because my expections were pretty high. I listened to it again recently and I have to say it ages well. Most songs are beautiful, but it's sad they didn't have a killer track on it to release as lead single.
Andrea's autobiography 'Barefoot Pilgrimage' is out 17th October. Here's the cover:
Will look forward to reading this actually. I imagine the story about their parents Jean and Gerry passing away will be quite moving to read, especially since two of the band's songs (namely 'Angel' and 'Gerry's Reel') are tributes to them.
I think it will be a good in depth and honest book.
Just listened to the audio book of Barefoot Pilgrimage, it’s fantastic. Highly recommend it.
