Our Take

At first glance, James Blunt's latest album, "Who We Used To Be," may seem like just another collection of sappy ballads and heart-wrenching melodies. But don't be fooled by the crooner's romantic reputation – this album packs a punch that will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about the former army officer turned pop sensation.

Opening track "Love Like That" sets the tone for the album with its infectious beat and catchy chorus. Blunt's signature vocals shine through, delivering raw emotion and vulnerability in a way that only he can. The sentimental lyrics may tug at your heartstrings, but don't let that fool you – there's a depth and complexity to this track that will have you hitting repeat time and time again.

As the album progresses, Blunt dives deeper into themes of loss, longing, and self-discovery. Tracks like "Monsters" and "The Greatest" showcase his songwriting prowess and ability to connect with listeners on a profound level. And let's not forget the bangers like "Halfway," which will have you dancing and singing along in no time.

Overall, "Who We Used To Be" is a testament to Blunt's evolution as an artist. It's a bold and authentic exploration of the human experience, wrapped up in a package of infectious melodies and soul-stirring vocals. So, grab a glass of wine, put on your headphones, and prepare to be swept away by the sheer brilliance of James Blunt's latest masterpiece. Cheers, mate.

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.
