Pre-release review by John O'Regan in "Irish Music Magazine", June 2004: Tricia Corrigan is a Northern Irish female singer from County Armagh quickly following in the steps of her contemporaries Cara Dillon and Maranna McCloskey. However, her musical approach is different as Tricia Corrigan works in a high-powered Celtic-Pop vein with the production values firmly in the mainstream. Elements of The Corrs, Capercaillie, and Mary Black abound and the artist she most reminds is of Scottish chanteuse Julienne Taylor. Where ‘A Different Kind of Beautiful’ finds its feet are the songs and her clear confident bell-like vocals. The self-penned material as personified by the opener ‘And She Danced’ and the powerfully infectious title track hit the mark with clear fluid singing and a strident Celtic-Pop background. Her versions of Bob Dylan’s hymnal ‘Forever Young’ and Gaelic translations of Danny Whitten’s ‘I Don’t Wanna Talk about it’ and Dan Seals’ 'Lullaby’ possess a subtle lingering presence. Quality abounds within the grooves sharp concise arrangements possess a timeless solidity and produce superior radio-friendly melodic Celtic/Pop crossovers. Tricia Corrigan is primed and ready, and ‘A Different Kind of Beautiful’ demands your ears. Oh for the man with the fat cigar and the record contract in his pocket! He could strike gold here. © John O'Regan May 2004
