Blue

Blue is a British boy band formed in 2000, consisting of members Lee Ryan, Simon Webbe, Antony Costa, and Duncan James. The group quickly rose to fame with their smooth blend of pop, R&B, and soul influences, appealing to both pop and adult contemporary audiences. They became known for their harmonies and polished production, marking their place in the early 2000s boy band scene. Their debut album, "All Rise" (2001), was a major success, featuring hit singles like "All Rise" and "Too Close," which both charted highly in the UK and internationally. Blue's music style evolved over the years, often mixing emotional ballads with upbeat dance tracks. Their second album, "One Love" (2002), produced more chart-topping hits like "One Love" and "Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word," the latter being a collaboration with Elton John.
