Original German text

Ten Feet High

One believes to know 12 years after the first album of the Corrs, thus about 30 million sold albums later, what one has to expect from ANDREA CORR. But with their first solo album the beauty with the rabenschwarzen hair points and endows crystal-clear voice that it is never too late to reorient one's opinion again to it to learn and again in addition-hear. With Ten Feet High hits it new ways, and even if the term of the artistic new identification works generally somewhat worn out - here it fits, because ANDREA CORR gives itself unusually: Unusually self-willed, unusually freshly, unusually variously, unusually unusually. On Ten Feet High ANDREA its creative doors up-pushed and its gift for the stories telling discovered. And it does with a marvelously changeable voice, which one did not hear so yet of it.

„For me music is more the Song than being sung only been always, “explains it. „I love songs, which tell stories, how from Neil the Young or from Simon & sparkle, which bring you to completely different places. “All eleven Songs on the album - which have a larger Spannbreite at styles than most other contemporary albums - on and by Andreas's Piano developed. Some from the beginning light sounded and responding, others worked somewhat darkly. But around it everything to the life to arouse, needed ANDREA CORR an allied one. And here producer Nellee Hooper comes into the play, whose work already pursues and admires ANDREA CORR since longer, particularly which its work with Björk and massifs Attack concerns. A common friend, i.e. U2s Bono, which became Executive producer of Ten Feet High at the same time, threaded a meeting and was closed already the solid community - Ten Feet High got wings. Or, in Andreas's words, „for this album I wrote history and painted to Nellee the picture in addition. “And which for one: sometimes loud and multicolored and sometimes strictly in, on the one hand economically and strictly, on the other hand black-and-white held more fully merry living and swotting and trumpets - in the figurative sense. With 32 years ANDREA CORR achieved now its marvelous bloom.

With 15 years it based with her sisters Sharon and Caroline as well as the brother Jim THE CORRs in Dundalk, Ireland. Then brothers and sisters became one the most successful volume of the world. 1998 became talc on Corners the usually-sold album in England - an honour, which thereby for the first time to an album Irish volume assign became. And everyone of their further albums went at least 5 million to time over the counters, also this a rarely reached result.
„We had a great time of full remarkable chances, but in certain way we were also continuously exhausted and had continuous one jet-lay, because we rushed the whole time of a country in the next, of a continent on the next. I do not want to weight about it at all, absolutely not, because it was the best time of our life, but had everything else to back-put and remained lying. We needed a time-out, an opportunity, to get air. “
And thus THE CORRS decided after its 2005er album Home to take the time-out long already expected. They went back to Ireland and everyone of them took up the private life, which they had already ignored solang. Sharon, Caroline and Jim created families and drew their children up, while ANDREA decided to start a new life as a solo artist. thus the work on Ten Feet High began.

„I wanted to take up an album of full stories, in which I could leave free run to my fantasy. Perfectly to gelless! “so ANDREA. And really the correct word is to gelless. Thus the electrical-like Hello Boys shows the singer, who actually admits for its gentle and respectable voice is, as a seductive-dangerous cat with driven out claws. „It is white a daring approach, I, “says it in such a way with sparkling in the eyes and a smart smile on the lips. „However it would not have had a sense do what I always did. Thus I went completely different way. “And really, the Song, which that with the line I know you acres watching ME/I think I like it begins, opens a self-confident and courageous side at ANDREA CORR.
„In the Song it concerns a lady in a brothel, one of the sort, which receives only completely special customers, and it is from all women desiring who test. “And on the question, how straight she comes on such a topic, it twitches its shoulders and says: „No notion. The fantasy goes to strange places, not truely? “

Be ashamed of on You against it is an exceptionally beautiful Song of full wonderful musical nuances, whose ease transports a very serious message: „It concerns mobilization and war, “explains ANDREA. „A Protestsong by the prism of the love. Those, which pull into the war, leave women, who will perhaps never marry her, and children, who will never witness her. “
The Kaleidoskop of the colors and styles on Ten Feet High is immensely various, and in each Song ANDREA lets the many facets of its personality shine through, both the playful and the serious. I DO is a Song as easily as air and playful as a child and describes a fairy tale wedding, Anybody There is a grooviger Popsong, in which ANDREA asks whether there is someone, which will love her. Champagne From A Straw plays with the superficialnesses of the Promilebens and takes the not always completely problem-free ease of the Seins with an ironical breath Rumba and Mexican Mariachi Bläsern on the grain. The beautiful Ballade ideal World forms the conclusion of the album, in which it concerns to live perfect the life the hopeless attempt. Then there is still another Coverversion on the album, and that is a radical: Take ME I' m Yours is a Squeeze classical author, whom whole she made her own Song.
And naturally the single 24 Hours, a perfect Popsong with a loose and sayful ear-obliging/pleasing melody and a gently dragging along rhythm. A Song, which tries to seize the Mysterien of the love.

„The album is not to show the world necessarily my true I, “so ANDREA. „It is above all an album, with which I had fun and on which I adventures experienced - and I am inspired by the result. And even if nothing large becomes draus, I will decide lucky my life sometime, however, because I made this album. “A short smile, and: „I however naturally hope that I have thereby much success. I think, which album has it actually earned. “

And that has it also. 2007 will become one of the most exciting years for ANDREA CORR. One year of full challenges and full corrections generally speaking book of the musical rules.

I've translated parts of the biography and put it on the "Ten Feet High" wiki page..

These songs take Andrea in a completely different direction from her days in The Corrs.  It's a brave move and one which I hope pays off for her because the tracks I have heard so far are excellent!

Official  Andrea Corr // Ten Feet High  Biography

Quote

By this stage in her career, 12 years after the first Corrs album and a full 30 million albums shifted, it would be fair to suggest that we all know what to expect from Andrea Corr. Raven-haired and demurely beautiful, Andrea is crystal-voiced and endlessly willowy, an updated Karen Carpenter possessed with an incessantly beautiful voice.
But now here she comes with her debut solo album, Ten Feet High, and suddenly Andrea’s entire oeuvre has shifted markedly. She now sounds unexpectedly different and positively leftfield. Reinvention would be a grand claim, but it wouldn't be an exaggerated one. In essence, she has thrown open the creative doors to reveal a wealth of hidden riches, a natural gift for lyrical storytelling, and a voice that errs more on the side of deadpan and understatement than traditional diva delivery.

“For me music has always been more about the song than the singing,” she says. “I love story-based songs, songs by people like Neil Young and Simon & Garfunkel that transport you to all kinds of different places.”

Each of the 11 compositions here - 11 highly eclectic songs that show a breadth of range few would anticipate in any modern-day artist - were initially born on and around Andrea's piano. Some of them initially sounded sweet and sultry, others quite gothic. But for these songs to really come to vivid life, she knew that they needed a greater canvas than she herself could give them. Which is where uber producer Nellee Hooper comes in. Andrea had long admired his work, particularly on Bjork and Massive Attack albums. A mutual friend, Bono, who went on to become the album’s Executive Producer, made the necessary introductions, and a solid union was formed. Ten Feet High now began the process of developing some wings. Or, in Andrea's own words, "with this album, I've written the story, and Nellee has painted the picture."

It's some picture, at once loudly colourful and starkly black-and-white, both stripped back and sparse, and full of trumpet-parping life. At 32 years old, Andrea is flourishing magnificently.

When she was just 15 years old, Dundalk-born Andrea Corr joined forces with her sisters Sharon and Caroline and her brother Jim to form The Corrs. Over the next decade and a half, the siblings would grow to become one of the biggest acts in the world. In 1998, their album Talk On Corners became the UK's best selling album, the first Irish act ever to achieve this feat. Each of their albums has sold an average of 5 million copies, a strike rate few else have accomplished.

"We had an amazing time and some remarkable opportunities," she says now, "but in many ways we were always exhausted, jetlagged the whole time, and forever rushing from country to country and continent to continent, chasing our success. I'm not complaining, far from it - it was the time of our lives - but everything else was put on hold. Basically, we wanted some time off, an opportunity to breathe."

And so, after The Corrs' 2005 album Home, the band finally decided upon their much-mooted hiatus. Each member went home to Ireland to live the life they'd for so long denied themselves. Sharon, Caroline and Jim began the business of having families and raising them, while Andrea undertook a new life of her own, that of a solo artist, and began working on what would become Ten Feet High.

“I wanted to make an album full of little stories,” she enthuses, “where my imagination could really run rampant." Rampant is perhaps the perfect word to best sum up the album's opener. ‘Hello Boys’ sees Andrea - previously, you'll remember, the singer with the dulcet tone and the serene demeanour - now sounding like a cat on heat, claws drawn.

"It is an arresting way to begin proceedings, yes," she says, a mischievous glint in her eye and a sly smile on her lips. "But then I thought that there would be no point in doing what I’d done before. And so I didn't. I went the other way entirely."

Indeed. ‘Hello Boys’, which begins with the line, "I know you are watching me/I think that I like it", certainly reveals an emancipated and more daring side to Andrea.

"Essentially, the song is about the madam of a brothel, the kind that only entertains certain special customers and is, therefore, by far the most desirable of all," she says. Ask her, reasonably enough, quite where the inspiration for such a song comes, and she will shrug her shoulders. "I really don't know. The mind can go to some quite strange places, can't it?" ‘Shame On You’, is a deceptively pretty song full of fluttery musical notes, its very lightness masking a much heavier message.

"It's about conscription and war," she explains, "a protest song through the prism of love, and how these men who go off to war are leaving behind wives they will never marry and children they will never have."

The album's kaleidoscope of colours and style continues apace, Andrea weaving her multiple characters through each song, at once both playful and sombre. ‘I Do’, about a fairytale marriage, is delicate and bewitching, a song as light as air, ‘Anybody There’ features some understated pining ("Will there be anybody there to hold me?") delivered adorably, ‘Champagne Through A Straw’ a wry dissertation on the vagaries of a celebrity lifestyle ("I've got my all-over tan and my tummy-tuck/Big house in the country, with expensive bags for my scary little dogs..."), and the closing ‘Ideal World’ is a poignant ballad about the hopeless pursuit of a perfect life. Then there is the one cover on the album, and it’s a radical one: a startling re-reading of the Squeeze classic ‘Take Me I'm Yours’ that she makes all her own.

"This isn't necessarily about showing the world the real me," she says. "It's nothing that contrived. No, this is just an album where I've had fun and adventure; I'm thrilled with the results. Even if nothing happens with it, I'll go to my grave happy I've done it."

A modest smile, then: "But naturally, I hope it does do well. I kind of think it deserves to."

It really does. 2007 looks like it could be Andrea's most interesting year yet, a year of challenging preconceptions, and re-writing the rulebooks.

Andrea has plans for her post-wedding album

By Barry Egan
Sunday July 12 2009

Andrea Corr, as the dogs on the street in Dundalk know by now, is getting married to Brett Desmond very soon.

But what they don't know is that scarcely will the confetti be swept up than the mystic chanteuse will be releasing an album of cover versions produced by no less than U2's producer, the redoubtable Brian Eno.

Behind the mixing console with the world-famous musician will be another producer of renown, John Reynolds. John, who used to be married to that other mystic chanteuse, Sinead O'Connor, has previously produced works by Peter Gabriel, Kirsty MacColl, Bjork, U2 and, of course, Sinead.

How do I know all this exclusive information about Andrea? I bumped into a member of the Corrs' inner circle in Sandycove on Monday evening.

Incidentally, Andrea's sister Sharon Corr will have her own solo album out first, however. If thoughts of sibling rivalry have crossed your smutty brow, dismiss them instantly for the unworthy meanderings they are.

Can't wait!

[Thomas]

Oooooh! I hope it's better than her first one, I never really got into it that much.
