Posted May 14, 200619 yr I found this elsewhere: Andrea's diva deal Corrs babe signs megabucks solo contract.. but she'll stay in family band Pop babe Andrea Corr has signed a huge solo deal with a top record company, the Irish Daily Mirror can reveal. But don't worry – the superstar family act are NOT splitting up. Andrea, 31 has bagged a contract with Warners to record and release her own album after a decade as lead singer of the sexy group. The Dundalk-born beauty will launch the record with a huge publicity blitz and a dramatic new image geared towards the pop market. A music industry insider last night revealed: “This could turn Andrea into a massive global pop iconâ€. “She has the looks, the voice and the talent to be one of the biggest female solo singers on the planet. She'll make millions from the album if it takes off.†Warners Ireland spokesman Darren Reinhardt said: “Andrea is planning a solo album but there are no dates set yet. “It could be towards the end of the summer but nothing is certain yet. That`s all the information we have at this stage.†The Corrs have only relased three singles in the past four years as three of them turned their attention to starting families. Andrea`s sisters Caroline, 33, and Sharon, 36, both have children while 41-year-old brother Jim is expecting a baby with his fiancée Gayle Williamson. Andrea is the only member of the family act not engaged, married or with children. Their last single Long Night peaked at No31 in th UK charts in December 2004. The industry source added:†Andrea will probably hit the road next year for a few solo live dates too. “But the Corrs will continue making albums further down the line and do live concerts at certain stages. “It makes sense for Andrea to do her own project because she has more time than other members of the group. “She is really excited and has been writing new material. She`ll be working with some top musicians and songwriters.†It`s 10 years since the Corrs first burst on to the music scene with their debut album Forgiven Not Forgotten. Andrea recently joked she would only consider releasing a muzac-style solo album. She told Radio2: “I could do a tin whistle album and a muzac version of our songs.†Caroline added:†I think our strength is as four but if anyone wanted to go solo I would have no problem with that. http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y271/M-Corr/AndySolo.jpg Here is one of their biggest hits, Dreams: [flash=450,350]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLGRhpVCev0.swf
May 14, 200619 yr It was always going to be obvious that things would slow down for them now they've got families. It will be a while before we get any new Corrs material.
