Sharon Corr

.

Dundalk, Ireland, 1970. The artist has just released a solo album, after sweeping The Corrs in the 90s. She is preparing to tour and, for now, the tabloid press is not pursuing her for being the ex-wife of his sister's partner. Queen Letizia.

Presents his third solo album:

. What will his followers find in him? My life is brand new and it is good. The songs that I have composed are like a journey into my life. It is a bit metaphorical, not literal. There is everything. A great rage, very feminine things and there are also moments to escape. You say that you are shy, but with your music, do you get naked? Completely. When you compose, you have to undress to express what you carry inside. It's like being vulnerable, but you have to be very brave to do it. I want the truth, be it good or bad. When you listen to a record, it is better that the songs are open so that anyone can put their life inside. I don't have a perfect life, nobody does, and if there was someone, it would be very boring, how is it possible that, being shy,Get on stage in front of thousands of people and sweep? When I am on stage I am myself. It is fortunate and something incredible. It's like religion, but without the bad stuff. It is like a mass. But I am shy and I will never talk about my private life. My music and my children are the most important things in my life. She learned to play the piano, the guitar, the violin, composes ... The total artist? [Laughter]. I play the guitar very badly, even though I wrote The Corrs songs with it. It had three or four strings. Yes, I play the piano, the violin and I compose. Do you speak several languages: French, German, Spanish ...? I speak Spanish, but not perfect. I need classes. I have learned it by doing my homework with my children.

, in the supermarket, on the terraces, with friends, on the street ... I lost everything in French when I tried to learn Spanish. And in German I can only say very important things [He says in German 'give me a beer'] [Laughs]. I'm sure I was a very good student at school. No, never. At school I concentrated only on the subjects that I liked. I was interested in biology, music, English, literature and nothing else. I have had very good and very bad grades, math, bad, I couldn't. Almost now I can't. It's a horror and a shame. How is your relationship with the greatest hits of The Corrs, the group that you and your three brothers founded? I am very proud of everything we have done. It was not so easy for a family to be together for so many years. We have had and have a magic inside when we play and compose.Did the Corrs split up because they started having kids? Yes, but we never ended up as a group. We toured all over the world, but we wanted to have children and we stopped. How many children and nephews do you have? Two children. Caroline has three; Jim, one; and Andrea, two. We are an Irish family! The Corrs were the good guys, compared to other Irish bands, like The Pogues and their frontman Shane MacGowan, who were at the opposite extreme. It's the world. Each person is different. When we are very young and very innocent, it seems that we are angels, but we were not angels and we were not bad people. We are normal people doing something that is not. There is a rebellion and a social and political commitment in many gangs in Ireland, in your case that is also the case? I don't want to deal with politics, although I have my opinions. What I know how to do is music. Of the rest of things,If I have nothing to say, I will not speak. You speak Spanish very well, where does your connection to Spain come from? I toured with The Corrs all over Spain and got to know the country, the food, the people and I decided to live here. Also, my first boyfriend was from the Basque Country. Oh yes, his name is Fernando. Young Spaniards were learning English in Ireland and we were in contact during the summer. Irish girls were in love with young Spanish so handsome and so elegant. We played the guitar on the beach, we sang ... that's where a love for Spain began from Ireland. He recorded one of his video clips in Andalusia. Yes, in the Alhambra. I was very lucky because they almost never give permission, but they did grant it to me. It is a magical, incredible place, with some silences, the water falling ... And the history of Boabdil is very interesting. It was a dream to record there.He speaks Spanish quite well, but he had some misunderstanding when he attributed a sexual connotation to gazpacho.

When I was learning Spanish, I would make up some words.

With the gazpacho, I was thinking about additives and I said condoms.

All the people who were with me fell to the ground laughing.

But what if we are talking about gazpacho?

[Laughs].

I suppose that now the press will persecute her for being the ex-wife of the new couple of Telma Ortiz, the sister of Queen Letizia. No, no.

I have nothing to do with it.

I'm not interested.

I have other more important things to do with my children, my friends and my music. Will we see it in concert? I did six or seven in July in Madrid and I was in Paris and Berlin a few days ago with concerts.

Now we are preparing a tour that will be around the world, surely.
