Christmas 2019 saw Andrea Corr visit Dublin’s Our Lady’s Hospice and Care Services in Harold’s Cross to sing a selection of her personal Christmas favourites. What was an incredibly moving experience inspired her to record and release the stunning Andrea Corr Christmas Songs EP in 2020.
A year later she released her fantastic collaboration with Ronnie Wood, the ‘Blue Christmas’ single. Andrea Corr today announces a full festive album in the shape of The Christmas Album – out December 2nd on EastWest.
‘Next year all our troubles will be miles away,” she sings in ‘Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas’ before adding “someday soon, we will all be together/until then we will have to muddle through somehow.” These words resonate as deeply as they did in 2020.
The other newly featured songs are equally poignant : ‘The Christmas Song’, ‘Let It Snow’, ‘O Holy Night’, ‘In The Bleak Mid-Winter’ and the original ‘Begin Again’ written by Andrea in her unique, veracious style.
“Every record has a personality.” explains Andrea. “ I see this one as a courageous little fighter, incubated by Covid. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I have enjoyed making it”
The Christmas Album provides some comfort and joy in these rather difficult times. We hope you enjoy it.
