Blue (1998) was the sixth studio album by Simply Red.

The album includes five cover versions: "Mellow My Mind" from the 1975 Neil Young album Tonight's the Night, two versions of the frequently-covered "The Air That I Breathe" written by Albert Hammond and Mike Hazelwood, the Gregory Isaacs hit "Night Nurse", and "Ghetto Girl" by Dennis Brown, from whom the band would cover another song in 2003. New versions of previously recorded Simply Red songs also appear here: "Come Get Me Angel" is a re-written version of the 1996 single "Angel", and "Broken Man" was first released as a B-side in 1987.

"So Jungiful", found on the Japanese edition of the album, is a jungle remix of "So Beautiful" from the band's previous album, Life.
