Blaque Out is the second studio album by American R&B trio Blaque. Originally expected to be released by Columbia Records in December 2001, it received a Japan-wide physical release on January 29, 2002 only, before finally being released as a digital download through iTunes on May 22, 2007. The band worked with a variety of producers on the album, including Dallas Austin, Full Force, Trackmasters, Salaam Remi, Dru Hill member Nokio, as well as Carl Sturken and Evan Rogers.
The album earned largely lukewarm reviews from music critics who felt it was similar to the group's self-titled debut album (1998) but lacked inspiration. Blaque Out's only single "Can't Get It Back" was released on October 29, 2001, and peaked at number 91 on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.[1] In 2003, it was re-recorded by British girl band Mis-Teeq. Group member Natina Reed said that Blaque Out! was both the strongest of the group's three albums and also her personal favorite album.[2]
