In Blue

Those who revere the sunny female harmonies of classic pop groups like Abba but want something more contemporary-sounding and danceable will find just what they're looking for in the music of the Corrs. Every song on IN BLUE is an airy pop confection held aloft by bubbling synths, reverberant guitars, and of course, the heavenly vocals of the Corr sisters. It's a well-established pop phenomenon that siblings get that extra something special when harmonising with each other (a fact that goes all the way back to the Everly Brothers). That's certainly true here, but the Corrs take it a step further, as their instrumental abilities intertwine with equal alacrity, especially in the case of guitarist/keyboardist Jim Corr. The whole package is topped off by some production assistance from pop maestro "Mutt" Lange, who puts the final, seamless sonic touches on this instantly appealing album.
