It’s been 15 years since fans first fell in love with the charming JAMES BLUNT via his blockbuster 2004 debut album Back To Bedlam and the global sensation You’re Beautiful. With more than 67 million streams in Australia to date and 23 million albums sold worldwide, as well as 5 x Grammy Award nominations, 2 x BRIT Awards and 2 x Ivor Novello Awards, James recently returned with his latest, deeply personal 2019 album, Once Upon A Mind, debuting at Number 5 in Australia on the ARIA chart. Fans will instantly recognise James in the video for Cold, filmed in the Welsh countryside, mirroring the iconic music video and a circular nod to You’re Beautiful.
When he further embraced its precursor’s dalliances with dance pop and other styles on 2019’s Once Upon a Mind, Blunt’s adaptability became just as remarkable as his vulnerability has always been.Cold reflects where he’s come from – and where he’s now going. The younger hitmaker returned the favor when he co-produced Blunt’s wide-ranging 2017 album The Afterlove. Blunt also paved the way for Ed Sheeran’s global conquest with his knack for writing plaintive songs that could simultaneously be hauntingly intimate, rich in detail, and immediately memorable. It was one of many songs on Blunt’s 2004 debut, Back to Bedlam, that helped spur a wider shift for British and Irish singer/songwriters away from the more brooding style of David Gray and Damien Rice back toward the warmer sounds of ‘70s heroes like Elton John and Cat Stevens. Instead, Blunt’s proven to be a remarkably hardy and enduring artist in the years since he first bared his soul on “You’re Beautiful,” a confession of unrequited love that became one of the biggest hits of the 2000s. But as you might expect of a star who spent much of his pre-fame life serving in the British army, he’s not as easily bruised as he sometimes sounds. James Blunt can seem like the most soft-hearted kind of singer, with his trembling falsetto and lyrics full of yearning.
