"Into the Blue" is a song by American electronica musician Moby, released on June 19, 1995 by Mute, as the fourth single from his third studio album, Everything Is Wrong (1995).[2] American musician Mimi Goese co-wrote the lyrics with Moby and provided the vocals. The song is slow and melancholy, a stark contrast to the first four singles from the album.
Simon Price from Melody Maker felt that "this sounds like Enya".[4] A reviewer from Music & Media commented, "First he's raving, then he's pop as pop could be. "Into the Blue" belongs to the latter category. It would almost be MOR material if the beats weren't that prominent."[5] Brad Beatnik from Music Week's RM Dance Update wrote, "What an oddity. The original album mix is a beautiful haunting cut featuring the soaring vocals of Mimi Goese – as brilliantly showcased on Later with Jools Holland recently. Here, Junior Vasquez turns the track into a mid-tempo garage-ish cut that sort of works. His Sound Factory Dub toughens things up nicely and there are also Beatmasters and Jon Spencer mixes."[6] Johnny Cigarettes from NME remarked "the rich, dark female voice warbling over "Into the Blue"'s aquatic ambience".[7] Another NME editor, Ben Willmott, opined, "This time, he's shunned his normal gay-disco-meets-techno hybrid in favour of a distastefully dated and uncomfortably melancholic shuffling ballad about flying off into the sky."[8] Also Barry Walters for Spin complimented the "etheral tones" of Goese, "with a ghostly grace that's truly startling after so much excitation."[9]
