Ten Feet High Reviews:
Hey I Love You, Love You, I Do! Or I Love The Album, Rather. 
2009-03-30 - I'm a huge Corrs fan,and I love all their previous albums. Andrea's album is dissimilar enough to stand on its own in terms of individuality. Essentially, this album gets better as you listen to it. Aside from "Shame On You ... To Keep My Love From Me," I like "Ideal World." Andrea has a flare for making the mundane seem tragic - and that mirrors reality. The mundane IS tragic because a thing that never changes never grows or becomes more than it is. The song is deceptive; it sounds upbeat when it discusses subjects that are not pretty.
But, this review is not an analysis of the songs, so I apologize. If you give this album a chance, the tunes are catchy and infectious. Her voice is so pleasant that it's hard not to love her.
Haven't received my CD yet 
2009-03-06 - I would like to review this product, but I haven't received this product yet. I ordered over a month ago and have contacted the supplier by e-mail twice and they have not acknowledged my inquieries. I have contacted Amazon and am still awaiting a reply from them. Looking forward to some sort of acknowlegement and resolution soon.
Dreadful Album from Very Talented Singer
2009-02-19 - Andrea Corr, lead singer with Irish trad-pop band 'The Corrs' ventures into the unknown world of 'solo artist'. It is true that she possesses a very fine voice that can lend itself to all genres but she made some big mistakes on this album. Firstly, she should have introduced a good songwriter to collaborate with on this album instead of more or less going it alone. She seems fine as part of a 'team' but her songwriting abilities are greatly exposed on this album. Lyrically juvenile and the music seems to be propped-up with techo-beats and over-production. This young lady thrives in an acoustic setting and this is where I believe she should have went with this album. I really wanted to like this effort and tried to persevere with it, but the task was beyond me. Sorry, but it is probably one of the worst albums that I have heard in quite a while.
Is this an album or an EP? 
2009-01-06 - About time Corrs frontwoman released some material of her own, but is it really anything to get excited about?...not even. "10 feet High" couldv'e had a much higher rating had there been enough songs to choose from. We could've atleast made it to 14, bad idea for a debut. Andrea's rendition of Squeez's "Take Me I'm Yours" is a banger I must admit the whole dance beat and synthesizers are a definate appeal in this one, It has an electric/dance sound to it, ear candy. "Champagne From A Straw" has that feel good quality to it, and also samples a Merengue styled beat in the chorus which is awesome. Next up we have "Ideal World" which is an acoustic track that tells three stories in one about three different people in three different situations, I love storytime when it comes to music, How fulfilling. "Anybody There" is an another track that stood out to me in contrast to the rest of "10 Feet High", It's odd how songs like these don't ever become singles. Last but not least we have a (Bonus Track) titled "Amazing" which is also an acoustic song with a pretty melody that one could get lost in but the chorus repeats far too many times. The rest of the songs such as "This Is What It's All About", "Stupidest Girl in the World" and "Hello Boys" are all dragged out with long and boring tempos that seem like they never end. "I Do" "Ten Feet High" and lead single "Shame On You" are the epitome of "Filler Material", sounds like Appleton b-sides or songs other artists didn't care for. The songs that I like are good but not GREAT, I truley feel like this group of songs falls short as a whole. This was not good a debut at all, If Andrea wants to succeed in a solo career it's time to get out the Paper & Ink and try again because "Ten Feet High" is not happening.
Ten Feet High Soars
2008-03-17 - Andrea Corr's debut solo effort is an enchanting success. What makes this collection work is that although she has crafted songs that have their own identities and personalities they all work cohesively together. I have listened to the disc from start to finish and every time it is a complete and satisfying experience.
She opens the disc with "Hello Boys" a saucy and confident electro ditty that is a kick in the pants and lets you know at once that Andrea Corr isn't afraid to do her own thing. It's not The Corrs and it isn't supposed to be. What follows are 10 other tracks that explore the human condition in a way that feels very much like a journey.
"Anybody There's" military beat, signifying routine, works perfectly with the lyrical action in the song. "Shame on You" is a commentary that smartly pairs the sentiment with a confident dance beat--it's not a sleepy, preachy song but a strong point of view augmented by an equally strong beat. "I Do," with its music box sound accurately sums up just what love as an ideal sounds like. It's a perfectly crafted song.
The title track is a true gem. The instrumentation of the music truly takes flight. The wistful piano and the melancholic rhythm gels so well with the lyrics of a love that can't be idealized anymore. What follows is the cheeky and fun "Champagne From a Straw." It almost has a mambo-like rhythm which again completely illustrates the world she is creating with the lyrics about the frivolity of celebrity. She uses horns as the song bounces around like an oblivious starlet prancing through her hollow world.
"24 Hours" is the most straightforward on the album. It's a dance song that works because it's simple and wears its beat on its sleeve.
"This is What it's All About" is a beautiful song that lingers slowly with nothing more than an acoustic guitar and Andrea's sweet, sultry voice. You feel what she is talking about in the song because the music so perfectly fits the song.
"Take Me I'm Yours" is the only cover on the album and it fits right in with the other original songs It's a sexy, electronic groove that makes you want to move.
"Stupidest Girl in the World" is my favorite track. Great transcendent music that hits right at the core. It has a terrific soulful bridge and makes tremendous use of the piano to close out the song.
The album closes with "Ideal World" which is an ideal choice. It's a simple rumination on life, expectation and dreams and Andrea's vocals never betray the truth and sentiment of the song.
The theme here is how well Corr matches her well sung lyrics with music that so effectively captures their meaning. That is something to be applauded because so much nowadays in popular music is just the same bland beats with trite lyrics. This album doesn't sound like everything else out there. Andrea Corr and her producer Nellee Hooper seem to use all the soundscapes at their disposal to create a rich, diverse yet totally cohesive album that truly does soar ten feet high.
