Background Information

While her brother and sisters, and the other members of The Corrs took a break from recording and touring, Andrea Corr struck off on her own with some help from Gavin Friday and Bono to put together her own solo album. First titled “Present”, it was retitled “Ten Feet High” by the time of release. There is no performance of either Bono or Gavin Friday credited on the album, and it is not known how much input the two had in this album. In the thank yous of the album Andrea does write, “To my three bodyguards for breathing life into my songs Nellee Hooper, Bono and Gavin Friday.

“Shame on You” was released as the first single to promote the album. A second single, “Champagne From a Straw” was only released digitally, and a small number of physical promotional copies exist. No further singles were released from this album.

The Japanese version of the album contains not only a bonus track in the form of “Amazing” but also includes two QuickTime formatted music videos (.mov) both featuring full songs. Both feature Andrea on piano alone, “Hello Boys (Piano Version)” (03:09) and “Shame on You (Piano Version)” (03:04)
