The Corrs For STC Charity Album

The Corrs are among several Irish acts who will feature on Behind Closed Doors, an acoustic compilation album currently being put together by students of the Sound Training Centre in Temple Bar.

The Hot Press Newsdesk, 22 Feb 2010

Other artists already confirmed for the album include Kila, Dave Geraghty, Juno Falls, Delorentos, Ollie Cole, Noise Control and Neosupervital.

Recording for the album is scheduled for this month and the album launch is set for late April/early May. Behind Closed Doors album is intended to raise funds for the ISPCC and is being coordinated and engineered by the students. It’s the natural successor to last year’s Sparks And Mind album released by the students in aid of Aware and which featured Bell X1, Lisa Hannigan, Damian Dempsey, Cowboy X and The Thrills among others.

It’s certainly plain to see how their teaming of sentimental, wide-eyed AOR and neo-trad power choruses is a hit with the audience, and they are indisputably talented, yet there is still something about the Corrs that strikes me as somewhat bloodless. Perhaps it’s me, for I haven’t seen an audience in the Point so animated and enthusiastic in ages.

The Corrs hit paydirt with In Blue, an album of memorable pop songs that topped the charts in over twenty countries around the world. It gave them the breathing space they needed to re-establish their roots, to live a little and to reassess their purpose as a band. Now, with the release of Borrowed Heaven, they’re back in the music biz frontline – slightly older, considerably wiser, but still with the same hunger to make great and honest records.

It really is time someone said it. The Corrs are the best pop band Ireland has ever produced. No, they are not rock 'n' roll.
