DESCRIPTION

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The second opus from from the vocal quartet follows up the phenomenal success of their debut album with sold in excess of a million copies in the UK alone and topping charts round the globe. The 14 tracks show a more focused band willing to take a few more chances with their vocal arrangements, veering more into the R&B path than ever before, as evidenced by 'Supersexual' and 'Ain't Got You'. a healthy step forward that further solidifies their earned stature as one of the UK's leading pop vocal groups.

It's strange to think that Blue's second album One Love comes just one year after their debut All Rise in 2001. By rights they should still be a fledgling pop act but with the status they have among the British pop fraternity it seems like they've been around forever. Blue number two is a mature progression from their debut which wasn't bad for a first effort but suffered from a lack of distinction between songs making it sound like one big uber-song lasting 45 minutes. One Love has many fine moments, sadly the title track and first single was a very safe bet, opting for their tried and tested formula but it is the experiments that seem to work well here such as "Ain't Got You", a "phat" slice of G-funk with a shouty in-yer-face chorus reminiscent of their predecessors Five and every bit as good. Staying with that west coast vibe, the boys dare to use the same piano sample from hip-hop classic "Still D.R.E." on the brooding "Supersexual" where they could easily be mistaken for Blackstreet, sounding more American R&B and less British pop. This transformation continues their journey towards R&B credibility, something rarely achieved by UK artists, the only thing that might need some work is the endless tirade of laughable lyrics and over using the phrase "Gonna make love to you all night" but in a world of style over content, they're onto a winner. --David Trueman
