Colours (Blue album)

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. Initially conceived as a concept album intended to include only cover versions of the band's personal favorites, the group went on to write a number of original songs during the recording process, which they later also recorded. In the end, six original songs and four cover tracks made it onto the album, including songs originally by Johnny Bristol, Eric Benét, and Rod Stewart.

The album received mixed reviews, with praise for its mature, soulful sound and harmonies, while some critics found it safe and uninspired. Commercially, Colours became Blue's second consecutive album to reach number 13 on the UK Albums Chart. It produced two singles, including lead single "King of the World" and follow-up "Nothing Like You." In April 2015, just weeks after the release, the band was released early from their two-album contract with Sony due to disappointing sales figures.
