1) Breathless: The first single from the album. It's my favorite song on the album and it's also the band's most successful single. It was a hit in U.S., which is how I heard it. Funny enough when I first heard it, I had no idea who sang it until 8 years later when I went on iTunes and the song was recommended for me and I freaked out when I found out it was the song I had heard all those years ago. It was nominated for a Grammy and is 1 of 3 songs that were co-written by Robert John "Mutt" Lange who has written and produced for "Shania Twain", "Def Leppard", "Heart", etc. 10/10
2) Give Me a Reason: The third and final single from the album. The album title comes from the lyric "it's not romantic here in blue, swimming, swimming in blue" in the beginning this song. The video showed the band in a large building at a party. It was a great choice as a single but for some reason it peaked lower on the UK charts than "Irresistible" which is strange when this song is way better. 10/10
3) Somebody for Someone: The song is about longing for love. It's a pretty good song but not as amazing as the previous two songs. 7/10
4) Say: I "say, say, say" this is a boring track that I usually skip. 4/10
5) All the Love in the World: This song was remixed and released as a promo single for the film "America's Sweethearts". The is about wanting a love that will last forever. The song is the second out of the 3 songs that Robert John "Mutt" Lange co-wrote. The isn't bad, but it shouldn't have been released as a single. 7/10
6) Radio: This song was released as a single for the band's live album "The Corrs Unplugged". The song was initially set to be on the band's second album "Talk on Corners" but the song wasn't finished in time. The band later recorded this amazing version of the song. Sharon wrote the song and it's one of my favorites on the album. 10/10
7) Irresistible: The second single from the album. This was the third and final song on the album that "Robert John "Mutt" Lange co-wrote. It's not a bad song but it's not a strong choice for a single. The video however was pretty cool and somewhat makes up for it. 7/10
8) One Night: This song was released as a promo single and had a video. It's a beautiful ballad and the video was also good. 8/10
9) All in a Day: This song is kinda a filler track. Andrea even sounds bored as she sings this song. 4/10
10) At Your Side: Like "Radio", this song was also on "The Corrs Unplugged". It's about always being there for a friend. While it's more poppy than the unplugged version, it's still a great song. 9/10
11) No More Cry: This song was written by Andrea and Caroline for their father to help him get over his grief for his wife, their mother, who passed away before the album finished. It was hard to listen to the song for awhile because I would cry when I heard the song because it would make me think of my grandmother. It's an amazing song though. 10/10
12) Rain: From an amazing song to a boring one. I ignore this song a lot. 3/10
13) Give It All Up: This song is pretty catchy and fun to dance to. 8/10
14) Hurt Before: The song is a sad ballad with a great violin solo from Sharon. I don't listen to the song much though. 6/10
15) Rebel Heart: This is an instrumental piece that was composed by Sharon for a four part series, also called, "Rebel Heart". It's amazing and makes me cry sometimes. Perfect way to end the album. 10/10
While "The Corrs" have been on a hiatus for about 10 years, their music is still great. My favorite songs on the album are: "Breathless", "Radio", "Rebel Heart", "Give Me a Reason", "No More Cry", and "At Your Side". Out of 150 points I give the album 113 points which is 75%, a C+. Hope you liked this review!
