Posted July 10, 200619 yr Yup - that's right, the rumours were true! :D Andrea Corr, of Irish (family)band The Corrs, is launching a solo career..B) And no, don't worry, the band won't split up! Her first solo album, titled "Present", will be out in September/October this year and is produced by Nellee Hooper (Gwen Stefani, Madonna, U2, Bjork). The album will be a "mixture of everything", so not just pop.. Also, a promotional film will be produced to accompany the release of the album, which will intersperse Andrea's observations on the making of the album with live performances of some of the key tracks (9 tracks), just on voice and piano! This was shot a few weeks ago in a small theatre in London. More info as it comes! B) Edited June 20, 200718 yr by CSCfan
July 10, 200619 yr This sounds intruiging. I wonder what the sound will be like... Hopefully promotion for this will be MUCH better than the promotion for the previous two Corrs albums.
July 10, 200619 yr Cool, She defitntly has a good voice, But i dont think she will do well as a solo artist.
July 10, 200619 yr If she comes out with Corr-style stuff then I think she will flop as it would be a waste of going solo. I hope she shocks people and does something different. Edited July 10, 200619 yr by Notso_Hampson
July 10, 200619 yr Author Well apparently, there's a song on the album, called either Molly Bloom or Ideal World (working titles), which is quite catchy and has the potential to be a single..:) Oh and as you can see in my sig, she will also be playing the piano (I immediately thought of Vanessa Carlton, lol).. B)
July 10, 200619 yr Molly Bloom I think she can do well, but she should save the Irish style stuff for Ireland. Their last album flopped in the UK and if she's going to release stuff like that it could be a disaster...

Their last album flopped in the UK and if she's going to release stuff like that it could be a disaster... The title doesn't tell you everything.. ;) For example "Molly Bloom", could be a character from James Joyce's Ulysses.. more info here. As you can read, it's really not that of an 'innocent' song and the song itself doesn't even have to sound Irish. And I doubt with Nellee Hooper producing, it will be "Irish styled".. ;)

July 10, 200619 yr To be honest, I'm in agreement, she really needs to do something different if she wants to be a success. I'm not sure a Vanessa Carlton-style would be enough do it (much as I love The Corrs AND Vanessa Carlton). This Hooper guy sounds promising though, he helped Bjork get her biggest hit to date, aswell as U2's last number one. He's also worked with Tina Turner, Massive Attack, Sade, Sneaker Pimps, No Doubt, Garbage and All Saints.
July 10, 200619 yr Author Oooh a familiar face I see. :o :D Hehe, same here! Finally found you people..:P To be honest, I'm in agreement, she really needs to do something different if she wants to be a success. I'm not sure a Vanessa Carlton-style would be enough do it (much as I love The Corrs AND Vanessa Carlton). With Vanessa-style I merely meant the singing & piano playing, but there are a lot more artists doing that..Lucie Silvas is another example..:) Anyway, I have faith she will do something original.. ^_^ Edited July 10, 200619 yr by CSCfan
July 11, 200619 yr Hehe, same here! Finally found you people..:P Well i'm glad you've found us eventually, i've seen you browsing on CC and wanted to tell you, but I would get banned for promoting. :(
July 15, 200619 yr Author Aww, thanks anyway! :wub: Well, the album's a wrap! :D Nellee just finished his work on the album.. B) It's getting closer & closer.. :dance:

July 18, 200619 yr HOPEFULLY THE SOLO ALBUM GOES WELL AND THEN the corrs start work on a new album,if andrea's solo career went well it would give the corrs a little more chance of the next album doing better as there last 2 albums havnt done nearly aswell as there others, the corrs are a great band who know who to write produce and play there own instruments and also know ho wto deliver the goods live and they deserve to do well,i have loved all there albums to date
