Product description

The Irish Connection is released through BMF Records/EMI. The Irish Connection features Brian’s interpretations of some of the very best in Irish songwriting.

Each track was personally chosen by Brian and range from artists such as Snow Patrol, The Cranberries and Damien Rice to Enya and Van Morrison. Ronan Keating and Brian team up to duet on U2’s epic ‘All I Want Is You’.

The album features phenomenal Irish talent Sinead O’Connor as she joins Brian for the Irish classic ‘Black Is The Colour’ to create their own hauntingly beautiful version. Classic rocker Christy Dignam completes the line-up on Aslan’s own ‘Crazy World’. Produced by both Brian and his long time co-producer Robert Conley, the album was recorded in Dublin and Sydney.

Brian said, "This album is something I have wanted to do for a long time. Ireland has produced some of the greatest songs in history and I decided I would put my own twist on a collection of my favourite ever Irish songs."

I received my cd today and have played it over and over. It is just absolutely wonderful. His voice is just perfect, and each song is just so beautiful. Now he needs to go out and do concerts because he is brilliant. Westlife were a brilliant group, and he deserves to get a lot of credit for his talent. Well done Brian !!

Goes to prove that some members in Boy Bands can sing. This is a great album and I look forward to the next one to buy from Brian, he has a great voice to listen to and relax by.

I am surprised at how good it is. I used to love Bryan's voice when he was in Westlife and this has made me rather happy.

This is a mega album.

Bought after seeing him at the Ronan concert and I love them all!! Also got for my friend and she loves it too.

If you're a fan of Irish music buy this album. I didn't think it was as good as his previous one. A bit slow and dowdy on some of the tracks.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sehr schöne Sammlung von Liedern
Reviewed in Germany on 24 April 2021
Der Sänger Brian McFadden hat auch diese Songs sehr schön und gefühlvoll gecovert und sie zu einem Album zusammen getragen. Er singt wirklich aus seinem tiefsten Herzen, was meiner Meinung nach sehr gut auf diesem Album zum Vorschein kommt. Auch finde ich das Album Cover sehr ansehlich gestaltet. Er sieht nicht nur schön aus sondern hat eben auch eine sehr schöne "rauchige" Stimme mit einem sehr schönen irischen Akzent. Große Kaufempfehlung für jedermann.

4' album solista del cantante irlandese Brian McFadden, dove reintepreta con il suo stile cover di famosi brani di artisti suoi connazionali.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great album from a really great singer.
Reviewed in the United States on 24 May 2013
I loved Brian when he was in the group Westlife and I still love him as a solo artist. He has an amazing voice! This album was really great, eventhough all the songs are not original songs by him. I'm not a big fan of artist remaking other artist songs, but Brian is such a great singer, that I found myself enjoying his versions of these songs. I thought his verson of "All I Want Is You" by the group U2, was so much better than their verson. He and singer Ronan Keating did an awesome job with it and they put so much more power in it. He did a duet with Sinead O'Conner on the song "Black Is The Color" and it was good, eventhough I think he sounds so much better than she does. His version of The Cranberries song "Dreams" is almost as good as the original. If you know who Brian is and love him, then add this album to your collection!

ネットで視聴してから購入はしたのですが、私の知らない曲ばかりだったので到着するまで不安でした。結果は、勇気を出して購入して良かったです!!聴けば聴くほど、ブライアンの声に聴き惚れてしまいます…。「好き」。その一言が心に浮かんだまま消えません。彼の歌声を聴きたい人、他の人とも聴きたい人には是非お薦めしたいアルバムです。
