Review

A very straightforward release from the Corrs, who spend the majority of this outing in full-blown pop mode, with the Celtic elements mostly being relegated to the backgrounds of several songs. The one exception is the closing instrumental, "Rebel Heart," which stirs itself up full-bloodily to provide the album with an anthem. In Blue is a bright, peppy set that bears more than a few comparisons to the work of bands such as the Bangles and Fanny, though the Corrs have an additional advantage in that Caroline Corr is an impressively muscular drummer. The CD includes a HyperCD section with a video for "Breathless" and various web links. ~ Steven McDonald, All Music Guide

In Blue is the third album by Irish band The Corrs, released in 2000. With the release of this album, the Corrs became popular in the United States (see 2000 in music). As well as the UK number one single "Breathless", the album also contained new versions of "Radio" and "At Your Side", both of which had previously appeared on the 1999 MTV Unplugged album. Also included was "Rebel Heart", which was used as the theme for a BBC drama of the same name. "One Night" was used in the film Mad About Mambo. "At Your Side" was featured in the trailer for the film The Holiday. Many other songs from In Blue have been used in television programmes. The recordings were made at Westland Studios and Windmill Lane Studios in Dublin, Ireland, during which Tim Martin was the engineer.

"All The Love in the World" features in the film "America's Sweethearts" (2001). Robert John "Mutt" Lange co-wrote three songs from the album.
