The Corrs have revealed they are back in the studio working on their first album in nine years. The Irish band, who have sold more than 40 million records worldwide, confirmed new songs are on the way after being honoured with a special exhibition, mural and civic reception in Dundalk, Ireland.
Speaking to reporters, drummer Caroline Corr, 53, said: “We’ve been doing a lot of different types of things the last few years, and we are recording another album, which I have to say is a real surprise to us, actually. Every time we go in, we start it, and before we go, we think, oh, this would be no problem. We’ll just get in there, we’ll do a couple of songs, and then inevitably it turns into something else.”
The Corrs – siblings Andrea, Sharon, Caroline and Jim – rose to fame in the 1990s with their debut album Forgiven, Not Forgotten (1995), which sold over three million copies in the UK alone. Their subsequent albums Talk On Corners (1997) and In Blue (2000) cemented their global success.
Lead vocalist Andrea Corr previously noted the difficulty of reuniting due to family commitments, telling This Morning in 2019: “We all want to play together again. I love being the singer in our band. But it is difficult getting us together with the children.” The band last toured in 2023.
