The Corrs Find New York City 'Irresistible'

(8/31/00, 10 a.m. ET) - The Corrs were in New York City's Times
Square this week shooting the video for "Irresistible," the
second single from their upcoming album In Blue, which is due
for U.S. release on September 12. The Irish quartet comprises
the siblings Jim, Sharon, Caroline, and Andrea Corr.
Andrea gave LAUNCH the scoop on the "Irresistible" video: "I
think it's a very glamorous video--and a very kind of
cosmopolitan video as well because it's set just right in the
middle of Times Square with all of the cars and the yellow cabs
and everything going past," she noted. "The idea of the video
is just basically iconoclastic. It's just, I suppose, very much
about stars."
The Corrs were on the set very early each day Sunday (Aug. 27)
through Tuesday (Aug. 29) to shoot the video, which was directed
by Joseph Kahn ( Destiny's Child, Sisqo). Sharon told LAUNCH
that despite the early morning hours, it was still a fun shoot:
"We were up at about five every morning to do it. It was great--
they got the mayor's permission to be able to shoot and have all
that seriously big equipment in the middle of Times Square for
three days."
Andrea added that Kahn came up with a rather unique way to shoot
the video: "He had this beautiful idea, where we are surrounded
by daylight--so he shoots us in daylight, but he also shoots in
nighttime. So, we have an aura of daylight within nighttime
around us. It's a beautiful idea."
The band's current single "Breathless" and the upcoming
"Irresistible" were co-written and produced by Robert John
"Mutt" Lange (Shania Twain, Backstreet Boys).
In Blue, the follow-up to the Corrs' 1999 album Talk On Corners,
has already hit No. 1 in more than 17 countries, including
Ireland, the U.K., Australia, Germany, Austria, Spain, Norway,
Switzerland, Sweden, and Singapore. Sharon told LAUNCH that the
group members were confident that In Blue would be a success,
but they never expected it to climb to the top of the
international charts so quickly: "I think the speed of it was
surprising," she said. "I think that we've built great
foundations with our last two albums, you know? They've all done
well, but this one pretty instantaneously--like, within a month --
was No. 1 in so many countries.
"We're really happy with the album," Sharon added. "We do think
it's worthy of [success]. We really are pleased with this album
we've made."
