"Lived Through That” is the companion podcast to my book where I look at influential musicians of the 80s and 90s and where they are today. On this podcast, we’ll delve deeper into a single pivotal moment in the lives of some of the artists I feature in that book, as well as other artists I love and admire. The stories they tell are open, honest, and inspiring. This week on the podcast, I'm thrilled to welcome the incredible Corrine Drewery — the unmistakable voice behind Swing Out Sister! Alongside Andy Connell, Corrine helped define the sound of sophisti-pop, the genre-blending movement that brought jazz, R&B, and new wave synths into perfect harmony. Think Sade, Simply Red, Style Council, and Everything But The Girl — and of course, Swing Out Sister, whose 1986 smash hit “Breakout” still brings a smile to my face every time I hear it. But here’s the twist: it almost didn’t happen. 🎧 Tune in as Corrine shares the surprising story behind the music, the magic, and the moments that made Swing Out Sister iconic. Don’t miss it!
