"The work ethic was through the roof"

In this episode, we have the great privilege of speaking with industry veteran Leo Pearson, who played a role in shaping the sound of Talk on Corners with a production credit on the album. Leo takes us back to where it all started—his mum’s basement —where The Corrs recorded demos that would eventually make their way onto the multi-million-selling album. He shares the unexpected journey that led him to work with the band, from experimenting with electronic music and samplers to suddenly finding himself recording a band, engineering, and programming for one of the biggest pop acts of the era. Leo recounts some of the creative process behind key tracks, his experience working with the band, and the whirlwind energy of their manager, John Hughes. He also reveals the difficulties of getting his recordings into the hands of legendary producer David Foster, just one of the many challenges the band faced in translating demos into polished album tracks.We hear firsthand about the evolving music industry of the late ’90s, the intersection of traditional and electronic sounds, and the lessons Leo carried forward into his career. Packed with behind-the-scenes stories and insights plus clips of unused demo songs, this episode gives greater insights into the music we have loved for decades.&nbsp; At 00:14:09 you can hear a clip of the song '23'.At 00:19:52 you can hear a clip of the demo mix for 'Little Wing'.At 00:26:36 you can hear a clip of the first demo version of 'Radio'.At 00:31:51 you can hear a clip of the demo for 'What Can I Do'.At 00:39:24 you can hear a clip of the demo for 'Remember'.At 00:45:35 you can hear a clip of 'Paddy McCarthy'.At 00:52:36 you can hear a clip of the song 'Uncanny'.
