It had controvercial reviews: though the work features high quality material fulfilled in genuine Blunt's manner with emotional vocals, some critics stated that the creation looked like as if it was obviously oriented on commertial success, not on personal evolution and search of original steps. In September 2007 the musician released his second studio work All The Lost Souls. Back To Bedlam had a huge support tour, during which the artist recommended himself as the master of live concerts.Īfter the earthquaking debut disc in 2006 Blunt released Chasing Time: The Bedlam Sessions, a more rocky work, featuring live versions of not only the Bedlam's hits, but also some covers. By now You're Beautiful is said to be more often chosen as the wedding melody in Britain than Angels by Robbie Williams. This sencere and emotional love song overdid in popularity even Elton John's Candle In The Wind 1997. The musician's first two singles, High and Wisemen, made the album popular, but the third track You're Beautiful became the romantic hymn of the summer. Blunt's debut album Back To Bedlam of 2004 was recorded in Los Angeles, in the studio of a famous singer Linda Perry, who collaborated with such names as Christina Aguilera and the infamous Cobain's widow Courtney Love. In 2005 the world got crazy of James Blunt - a guy, playing a mixture of Pop and Acoustic Rock with Folk elements, and known for his dark imagination and use of strong symbols in creative work. Soon after that Blunt left the army and for about a year he searched for something to do, and decided that the best alternative for a tank would be a guitar. As an excellent officer Blunt also got the honour to guard the coffin of the Queen Mother after her death in 2002. No wonder, under the influence of such events James started creating songs. The young military man had a huge duty to care about: he had to command 30,000 soldiers, leading them to Pristina as the first British officer ever stepping into the Kosovan capital, and lifes of all those men depended on him. After getting the rank of the Captain Blunt went to Kosovo as a NATO peacekeeping force officer. Under the guide of his father, a former Colonel, the guy was given a thorough military education in Britain's best facilities. That is why James's life was far from music and arts for many years. James Hillier Blount, known as James Blunt all over the world, was born on Februin Britain into a family with long military history.
