Blue Are Back: New Album ‘Reflections’ Marks a Bold Chapter for the Iconic Boyband
Two decades since they first topped the charts, British pop legends Blue are ready to capture hearts again with the upcoming release of their brand new album, ‘Reflections’.
The group — made up of Duncan James, Antony Costa, Lee Ryan, and Simon Webbe — first stole our hearts in the early 2000s with iconic hits like ‘All Rise’ and ‘One Love’. Now, almost 25 years later, they’re proving that their magic hasn’t faded — it’s only evolved.
Set to be released Friday January 9th 2026, ‘Reflections’ promises to be the boys most progressive and personal project to date, as they blend poignant lyrics with slick harmonies and soaring melodies across a selection of empowering pop bops and heartfelt ballads.
The album is available to pre-order and pre-save on all major digital platforms NOW, with exclusive CDs and coloured LPs on sale via the band’s official store, HMV and Amazon.
Blue – One Last Time
To celebrate the news of the albums release, the beloved Princess of Pop today (September 4th) share the LP’s lead single ‘One Last Time’ — co-written by band member Duncan along with Paul Visser.
Packed with sky-high vocals and the kind of irresistible hooks that made first made them household names, the track takes a bold step forward, fusing their classic sound with a fresh, punchy pop-rock edge. Laced with bittersweet lyrics but lifted by anthemic melodies, the song captures a universal feeling: while it’s natural to mourn the end of something precious, there’s beauty in looking back and finding joy in what once was.
Commenting on the single, James says: “‘One Last Time’ is a song I wrote last year after the death of a really good friend of mine. It hit me hard and I wrote this in the aftermath of it all. But I didn’t want it to sound like a sad song, so we came up with this, which is a different kind of a sound for Blue — it has a rockier feel but still retains all the classic elements of a Blue song. We have had a lot of strong reactions to it — as anyone who has lost anyone can relate — and wish they could see that person for ‘One Last Time’.”
In support of ‘Reflections’ release, Blue will be hit the road in 2026 embarking on a mammoth WORLD tour, including an extensive UK leg in April. In what promises to be a show filled with nostalgia and brand-new music, the boys will be supported by fellow pop legends 911 in the UK, before heading over to Europe in May.
