Rebel Heart (The Corrs Song)
"Rebel Heart" is an instrumental by the Irish folk group The Corrs, taken from their third album ''In Blue'' (2000). It is influenced by Celtic music, featuring violin and tin whistle.

In January 2001, it was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Performance. According to The Corrs official website, Sharon is quoted as saying: "I wrote it in Malibu on piano when we were recording '' Talk on Corners''. It sat around for a long time and then the BBC were looking for some music for their big Autumn drama about the 1916 Easter Rising in Ireland. It has a very Irish melody and we added the tin whistle and so on and it fitted the bill." Steven McDonald wrote for AllMusic AllMusic (previously known as All Music Guide and AMG) is an Amer ...

Pop Rock
Pop rock (also typeset as pop/rock) is a fusion genre with an emphasis on professional songwriting and recording craft, and less emphasis on attitude than rock music. Originating in the late 1950s as an alternative to normal rock and roll, early pop rock was influenced by the beat, arrangements, and original style of rock and roll (and sometimes doo-wop). It may be viewed as a distinct genre field rather than music that overlaps with pop and rock. The detractors of pop rock often deride it as a slick, commercial product and less authentic than rock music. Characteristics and etymology Much pop and rock music has been very similar in sound, instrumentation and even lyrical content. The terms "pop rock" and "power pop" have been used to describe more commercially successful music that uses elements from, or the form of, rock music. Writer Johan Fornas views pop/rock as "one single, continuous genre field", rather than distinct categories. To the authors Larry Starr and Chri ...
