Indigo is the third album by British pop/jazz/soul/dance band Matt Bianco, released in July 1988.
This was Warner Brother's attempt to launch Matt Bianco in the U.S., hence the hiring of Emilio Estefan (Gloria Estefan's husband) as producer. He contributed three of the tracks on the album, including the first single 'Don't blame it on that girl'. By reaching Number 23 in the UK albums chart, it became the highest-charting long playing work for the group, and it also included their highest-charting single ever, the double A-side "Don't Blame It on That Girl" / "Wap-Bam-Boogie", Number 11 in the UK singles chart. The album follows the path started with the previous LP, the eponymous Matt Bianco of 1986, achieving even more success. Besides the big success of the first double a-side single, especially the dance-oriented "Wap-Bam-Boogie" ("Don't Blame It on That Girl", though pushed high in the charts by the other track, actually had a limited impact), the long playing work was promoted by three more singles: "Good Times", "Nervous", and "Say It's Not Too Late", none of which had any commercial success, stalling in the lower parts of the charts - the third single did not even enter the UK Top 75, and it would be in fact re-included as a B side on "What a Fool Believes", the second single from the fourth studio album by the band, Samba in Your Casa of 1991.
