Listen "Episode 83 - Corrine Drewery (Swing Out Sister)"
Episode Synopsis
"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!

Blue Dot Sessions
Swing Out Sister - "World Out Of Control"
