Overview

Colours is the fifth studio album by English boy band Blue. It was released on 6 March 2015 and marked the band's first release with Sony Music. The album features six original songs and four cover songs. The album's lead single "King of the World" premiered on 20 January 2015. Colours debuted at number 13 on the UK Albums Chart. Background and production Band member Lee Ryan stated that the album was initially set to be a concept album, consisting entirely of covers of songs by artistes who inspired the band during their childhoods and early years in the music industry, including the likes of Marvin Gaye. The idea for the album came about during a flight home from the European leg of their Roulette tour. The band were then contacted by producer Brian Rawling who invited them to his private studio in Surrey to record with him. Whilst recording some of the covers which the band had selected, Rawling offered the band the chance to write some original material with several of his well-known contacts, including the likes of Paul Barry and Mark Taylor, whom Rawling had previously worked with on material for artists such as Enrique Iglesias. As a result of this, the band wrote seven original songs and thus it was decided that the album would become a combination of the original material as well as four carefully selected covers. The album was later trimmed to include six of the original songs, with "Oh Girl" (which was listed as track 11 on product listings for the album) being subsequently removed. Webbe stated that the track "Flashback" was one of the most poignant songs that the band had ever written, and that it was designed to be a song which everyone could relate to in some way or another. The song was written following a discussion in which the band reminisced about their former heights following the success of All Rise and One Love. The band took to the road in March and April 2015 on their Colours of Blue tour, where they perform the entire album live aside from the final track, "Endless Love". They have also updated some of their back catalogue to include elements of the soul-pop genre which appears on Colours. Commercial performance The album missed the top 10 in the UK, debuting and peaking at number 13, and subsequently the band were dropped by their record label Sony on 8 April 2015.

Notable quotes

“[P]ure light, such as that from the sun has no color, but is made colored by its degradation when interacting with objects having specific properties which then produce color.”
— Aristotle (c. 350 BC) as quoted by Kurt Nassau, The Physics and Chemistry of Color: The Fifteen Causes of Color (1983) p. 4.
“When you go out to paint try to forget what object you have before you—a tree, a house, a field or whatever. Merely think, here is a little streak of blue, here an oblong of pink, here a streak of yellow, and paint it just as it looks to you, the exact color and shape, until it emerges as your own naive impression of the scene before you. I would like to paint the way a bird sings.”
— Claude Monet, as quoted in The Artist (1957) Vol. 53-57, p. 24.
“[L]ight when it reaches the eye may be a blend of many colours, though the sensation produced is not of a blend but of some colour, predominant in the blend. This is why objects under water tend to have the colour of water, and why reflections in mirrors resemble the colour of the mirrors, and we must suppose that the same thing happens in the case of air.”
— 793 b , 27-34.
“Since... the quality of colours becomes known by means of light... where there is most light there the true quality of the colour so illuminated will be most visible, and where there is most shadow there the colour will be most affected by the colour of the shadow. Therefore, O painter, be mindful to show the true quality of the colours in the parts which are in light.”
— Why Beautiful Colours Should be in the Lights (MS. 2038, Bib. Nat. 33 r.) p. 233.
“[L]ight and darkness, brightness and obscurity, or... light and its absence, are necessary to the production of colour.”
— Introduction, p. xlii.
“One cannot be at the Pole and at the Equator at once. One must choose one's way; at least this is what I hope to do, and my way will be the road to colour.”
— Letter to Theo, p. 137.
