Our Take

James Blunt's latest offering, "Once Upon A Mind," feels like a rollercoaster ride through the emotions of a middle-aged man who just discovered Tinder. From heartfelt ballads to catchy pop tunes, Blunt covers a range of topics, from love and heartbreak to....well, mostly love and heartbreak.

The album kicks off with the lead single, "Cold," a soulful track that showcases Blunt's signature crooning vocals. With lyrics like "You think you're the only one who can save me," it's clear that Blunt is not holding back on the emotional front.

As we delve deeper into the album, tracks like "The Truth" and "How It Feels To Be Alive" offer up some surprisingly danceable beats, showing that Blunt is not afraid to experiment with his sound.

However, where "Once Upon A Mind" truly shines is in its stripped-back moments, such as the hauntingly beautiful "Monsters." With just Blunt's voice and a simple piano accompaniment, this track is a reminder of why he first captured our hearts with "You're Beautiful."

Overall, "Once Upon A Mind" is a solid addition to Blunt's discography, offering up a mix of heartfelt ballads and catchy pop tunes. Whether you're a die-hard fan or a casual listener, there is something here for everyone. So go ahead, grab a glass of wine, put on your comfiest pyjamas, and let James Blunt's latest album take you on an emotional journey. You won't regret it.

About the artist

James Blunt

James Blunt: The Crooning Comedian With his distinctive falsetto and self-deprecating charm, James Blunt has become a household name in the world of pop music. Despite his initial success being marred by accusations of being too soppy or sentimental, the British singer-songwriter has managed to carve out a niche for himself as a purveyor of catchy tunes with a humorous twist. Blunt first burst onto the scene in 2004 with his debut album, "Back to Bedlam," which spawned the hit single "You're Beautiful." While the song quickly became ubiquitous on radio stations worldwide, it also earned Blunt a fair amount of criticism for its saccharine lyrics and earnest delivery. However, rather than shying away from the backlash, Blunt embraced it with open arms, often poking fun at himself in interviews and on social media. Since then, Blunt has continued to release music that straddles the line between heartfelt ballads and cheeky anthems. His latest album, "Once Upon a Mind," showcases his knack for crafting emotionally resonant melodies while injecting his trademark wit into the lyrics. Tracks like "The Truth" and "Monsters" tug at the heartstrings, while songs like "Halfway" and "5 Miles" bring a playful energy to the mix. While some may still dismiss him as a one-hit wonder, James Blunt has proven time and time again that he is much more than just a pretty voice. With his combination of genuine emotion and sharp wit, he has cemented his status as a beloved figure in the music industry - one who is not afraid to laugh at himself along the way.
