Posted May 20, 20178 yr The follow up to their gold selling comeback album "White Light" is currently being written and recorded. More from Jim in this new interview: Speaking of recording, Jim has just that morning returned home after recording for the next Corrs album at RAK Studios in London with none other than T Bone Burnett at the helm. And with a producer of that calibre and reputation, Corr explains, time is limited - after all, this is the man behind everyone from Roy Orbison to Tony Bennett, and soundtracks for pretty much all of the Coen Brothers films. “It was a very intense three weeks there, with one week of rehearsal, which is an approach we haven’t taken before. Normally we go into the studio and do overdub upon overdub. This time we decided to do essentially a live performance. “We were separated in the studio and then T Bone recorded to tape, 24 track, to get that transience, frequency range and compression that is very difficult to get with digital. Obviously it was very challenging for us doing that entire album, bar a couple of overdubs, in two weeks.” Sounds like, dare we say it, he is quite happy with the result? “Yeah! It’s been an education and we loved working with T Bone. We couldn’t be happier with the recording process. Obviously there are still a couple of vocal dubs to be done and there’s still a mix. The proof is in the pudding. But yeah, I’m very cautiously going to say I think it will be great.” Corr seems relieved to be moving slightly away from the band’s comfort zone. Often accused of playing it safe (one Evening Standard reviewer memorably described the band’s last album as representing a “pathological rejection of any kind of edge”), the new album, out early next year, Corr hopes, will signal a new chapter. “People will certainly recognise that it’s still us, but we have kind of moved subtly away from the pop. Yes there are songs on the album, but they are not particularly in the pop vein that they would have been in the past. This is a little bit of a departure for us.” What’s next for the group? “Well, we’ll take a little bit of a break then I’ll perhaps go out to America, Nashville, with one of the girls, finish the mix. Next year will likely be a very busy year for us. But in the meantime, it’s back to downing our tools and looking after our children!” Sounds like will be a return to their Forgiven Not Forgotten era style which I am all for (that album, incidentally, is out on vinyl for the first time on 2nd June!)

May 20, 20178 yr 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.
May 20, 20178 yr Who are they? I don't know if I'd be angrier if this was a joke post or if it was real. I am all for a new Corrs album.
May 20, 20178 yr 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.
May 20, 20178 yr I don't know if I'd be angrier if this was a joke post or if it was real. I would have been a little bewildered at first until I saw the year he was born.. 2000 :P Looking forward to this though. Edited May 20, 20178 yr by Roba
May 20, 20178 yr 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.
May 20, 20178 yr YES! I didn't expect another new album either, certainly not so soon (well in Corrs terms it seems like a quick turnaround anyway).
May 20, 20178 yr LOOOOVE that they're recording a new album now that SM:TV Live has more or less been confirmed for next year :lol:
May 20, 20178 yr Loved 'Bring on the Night' and 'I Do What I Like' from the last album - hope this can be as good!
September 13, 20177 yr New album on November 10, and Royal Albert Hall on 19th October 2017 Edited September 13, 20177 yr by Mullo
September 13, 20177 yr Author 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. Edited September 13, 20177 yr by ThePensmith
