2000 studio album by the Corrs From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In Blue is the third studio album by Irish pop rock band the Corrs, released in 2000 which saw the band become known in the United States. The title of the album comes from a lyric in the song "Give Me a Reason".

Mutt Lange co-wrote and produced three songs from the album.
