The Corrs
In Blue

THE REVIEW

The Corrs' turning point is announced with "Breathless", and the sensual video in the desert where the beauty of the three sisters is well showcased (especially the singer and violinist), before finding themselves with the upcoming album and on the cover with the three sisters ruined by too much American diva makeup (even if Andrea always remains beautiful), only to save themselves in almost all the images of the booklet.

The music becomes almost too American metropolis pop, with usually some traits here and there of traditional instruments to remind us they are Irish (but an album of theirs made by any American artist wouldn't have sounded differently). The production, entrusted to Mutt Lange, Shania Twain's ex-husband, licenses a stratospheric success worldwide, including Italy.

Good songs, where today I can say to put aside "Somebody for someone" (the hint of "American metropolis music" came to me from its intro), "All in a day", "One night", "No more cry", "Give it all up" and "Say" which I judge, right, nice, compared to the better songs on the album (the other classics: "Breathless", "Give me a reason" and the remake of "Radio").

"In blue" is the last chapter of The Corrs' global glory. Glory destined to diminish with the subsequent albums that have reached us (after "Would you be happier" from the "Best", let's be clear).
