Andrea Begley won The Voice back in June this year and ever since then she's been hard at work on her debut album 'The Message' but luckily she has had some help from her Voice mentor Danny O'Donoghue.
The Belfast born singer spoke to EntWise about working with The Script front man on her new material and how he is there for advice whenever she needs him.

Andrea revealed to us that her favourite track on her forthcoming record is in fact the one that Danny helped out on: “The Message, the title track [is my favourite] I love it, it's the one Danny produced on the album,” she admitted.
Even though Danny is busy being a rock star with his own band, they have still managed to keep in touch and even spent time in the studio:
“We've stayed in contact a lot via email, but he's been out of the country quite a bit over the summer with the band. We did some work in the studio over 'The Message', it was great to be working with him in that environment, [it was] just a bit different I suppose away from all the cameras. He's very much at home in the studio, he loves working in the studio,” explained Andrea.

Although Danny is incredibly busy, Andrea does not rule out working with him again in the future:
“He's very much tied up with all things The Script at the moment, he's been mad writing for that. You never know in the future it would be cool to work together, If [The Script] ever wanted to I’d love to.”
Andrea may have proved her talents by winning The Voice but Danny still pushed Andrea to be at her very best in the studio:
Andrea is releasing her debut album on October 21
“He put me through my paces and we got a really good track, I’m really happy with the track and I think it sounds fantastic. I’m really glad we took as much time over it as we did. He was really helpful and he's left his door open if I need any advice. He's heard a lot of the other tracks on the album and he's really happy with them which is cool,”she revealed.
Andrea's album 'The Message' comprises of a mixture of covers and original songs and will be out on October 21. The 'My Immortal' singer will also be performing live in November, she will be playing at Ulster Hall in Belfast on November 3 and at the Union Chapel in Islington on November 4.
