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.
