It’s all about the emotion, it’s all about the feeling where music takes you to and what affect it has on you.

Andrea Corr chats to I Like Music

After twelve years and thirty million albums, The Corrs decided it was time for their much-mooted hiatus following the release of 2005's 'Home'. Each one of them went home to Ireland, but whilst Sharon, Caroline and Jim began to raise their families, Andrea undertook a new life of her own as a solo artist.

When mutual friend Bono introduced Andrea to Nellee Hooper, who she had particularly admired for his work with Bjork and Massive Attack, a solid union was formed. As Andrea says, "with this album, I've written the story and Nellee has painted the picture."

ilikemusic caught up with Andrea Corr to talk about her new album, working with Nellee Hooper and her time in The Corrs.

"I Like Music because… it romanticises every little simple moment." ANDREA CORR

ILM: Your debut solo album is released on June 25th. Which track did you have the most fun laying down in the studio?

ANDREA: That's kinda hard because they were all quite fun, because they're so story-based so Nellee would come up with very different ideas for each one. Champagne From A Straw was fun because we had the whole Moriarty band type thing happening. I Do was fun because it was so magical with the music box and Hello Boys was fun in a totally different way. We had a good time.
