Yummy mummy Sharon Corr finds time for an album

Wednesday October 15 2008

There's some good news in store for fans of gorgeous Sharon Corr.

The Diary can reveal how the talented brunette is following in her sister's footsteps by releasing a solo album of her own.

Here's hoping that she has more success than her sibling Andrea, whose Ten Feet High release earlier this year met with decidedly mixed reviews.

But Sharon Corr, who along with her siblings has sold 30 million records worldwide, has revealed how she is in the throes of completing her first release and hopes to put the finishing touches on it over the next couple of months.

She explained in an interview on Xpose how she's busy writing songs while juggling the pressures of motherhood after giving birth to two youngsters named Cathal (2) and Flori (1).

She has been living the life of domestic bliss up in Belfast with her barrister hubbie Gavin Bonnar.

And while she has yet to come up with a title for the new album, she will also sing on the album while also playing the violin.

Given that Sharon penned the chart-topping singles Runaway, So Young and Radio, she should find writing some new hits a piece of cake.

Her famous siblings haven't been resting either -- Sharon revealed how fans of Andrea can expect to see her in an "exciting acting role" very shortly.

I can't wait!

I love the Corrs, but I though they were working on a comeback album, is that ever going to happen.

I'm still happy though, can't wait for that CD

Here's a video of the interview with Sharon!

She mentions she will release a solo album over the next while and we can expect a new Corrs album within the next 2 years!

While I have been away, I have been reading your comments on the various fan sites all over the world. Thank you for your unwavering loyalty and countless beautiful words of appreciation over the years. It means everything to know you are there.

So, where do I start? I suppose it's more than about time that I was able to give you some real news. Some of you may know that I am doing a solo album. In fact, I have been writing for over a year and a half now, as always these things take longer than you'd expect but it's important that I get it right and that the end product is something I am really proud of and hopefully you all love! So far so good, I'm excited by what I've written and the violin as always plays an integral role through all my music.

My husband and I have been blessed with two beautiful children in the last three years and they are such a joy. It has been a very special time and a real gift to be able to give all of my focus to them but now it's time to get back to music. I've missed recording and touring terribly and I aim to get stuck right back in to both this year!

I will launch this website as soon as I can and, as I go, I shall release various touring and album dates. For the moment though, I'm heading to the studio this week to work on some new songs and instrumentals. BTW, on March 17th I will be playing at the Waterfront in Belfast for a concert celebrating the music of a very good friend of mine, Bill Whelan, composer of Riverdance.

I must say, it'll be strange being out on the road without my family and I don't expect to ever replace The Corrs in your hearts but music is in my blood and with your help I hope to be able to play wherever you are and I'm especially looking forward to visiting all those places I never got to with my family.

Lastly, I promise to keep you all updated with regular posts on my website. It is my hope to really use the site to get you all blogging with me and sharing ideas and giving me lots of feedback.

Thanks, gracias, danke, grazie, merci.....and, of course, go raibh maith agaibh.

All my love, Sharon. xxx"

Hi Guys,

Hope you are all well.

We are still working on the design of my website, so it should be another few weeks until we're up and running. In the meantime, I will update the holding page as I have news.

Next week I' m in the studio with Keith and Anto, we'll be working on possible singles and also rehearsing for the Summer festivals. As soon as I have a definitive list of dates, I'll let you know. I can't wait and am really looking forward to seeing your friendly faces around Europe this Summer!

St Patricks night in the Waterfront was thrilling. It's hard to put into words how much I enjoyed working with some of Irelands finest musicians. Bill's music is so beautiful and a great challenge to play. Loved reading your comments on the different fansites. Keep 'em coming!

Lots of love,

Sharon xxx

She's really keen on keeping us updated....getting more & more excited!
