└────────┘
A photogenic family band comprising three sisters and one brother, The
Corrs - vocalist Andrea, drummer Caroline, violinist Sharon, and
guitarist/keyboard player Jim - blend the music of their Irish background
with contemporary pop/rock elements. The quartet formed in 1991 and enjoyed
regional popularity in Ireland until 1994, when the American ambassador to
the country invited The Corrs to perform at the 1994 World Cup in Boston.
The Corrs subsequently expanded their popularity by appearing at the
Olympic Games in Atlanta and earning a support slot on Celine Dion's 1996
tour, two gigs that helped pave the way for their well-received debut
record. The Corrs' first studio album, "Forgiven, Not Forgotten" (released
via Lava/Atlantic Records in America), became internationally popular, but
nowhere more so than their homeland, where the LP's four-times-platinum
status made it one of the most popular debuts by an Irish group.
It had been a decade since the world last heard from The Corrs. In the ten
years after the turn of the millennium, the sonic landscape - which had
been favorable to the sibling quartet's soothing grown-up music - changed.
Adult contemporary wasn't as clearly defined, considering Adele, Eminem,
and Muse could all be heard on the same radio stations. And so with their
sixth album, "White Light", the Corrs stuck with the same reliable formula
that served them so well in Europe for much of the early aughts.
Straightforward, yearning, and honey-hooked, their comeback is a pleasing
collection of pop/rock with their signature Irish folk elements woven
throughout.
This satisfying warmth and positivity shine on first single "Bring On The
Night", with lead Corr Andrea sounding just as precious and pure as she did
in the early 2000s. The band has always had a knack for spot-on harmonies,
so fans will be delighted to hear sisters Sharon and Caroline in top form.
Elsewhere, shimmery gems (the title track and 'Unconditional') provide some
pop-smart balance to the pastoral Irish folk influences that hark back to
their last release, "Home", from 2005. Among them, "Gerry's Reel" is an
absolute stomper dedicated to their late father, and "Stay" is the
exhilaratingly raving answer to the jaunty, album-closing reprise of its
sister track, "With Me Stay".
Produced by John Shanks (Bon Jovi, Kelly Clarkson, Backstreet Boys, Celine
Dion), the album also includes its share of lovelorn balladry, like "Kiss
Of Life", the yearning "Strange Romance", and the treacly "Catch Me When I
Fall". Fans of the band will be happy to hear them again, especially
considering that this collection sounds like they picked up immediately
after their last album, and is not a return to the scene after a decade.
Everything here is familiar and comforting, hitting the right notes and
emotional buttons that make The Corrs such heroes in their home country
alongside the Cranberries and U2.
