On the new album, James has worked with a variety of producers including Steve Robson, Jimmy Hogarth and TMS. Highlights are many and include the poignant ballad āMonstersā, the pop swagger of ā5 Milesā and the country tinged āHalfway.ā Thereās a warmth that permeates the entire album, and a real sense of personality.
āI think this is the most honest album I have ever made.ā James Blunt says.Ā āBack To Bedlam was similar in that I had been writing those songs for a while about my life experiences at that time, and they came together on my debut.Ā And every song on this album represents something that Iām currently going through or have recently experienced. Itās a very personal record, and Iām proud I can share it.ā
