Overall I give this album a score of 8/10, this album is a feel good, easy listening and radio friendly, James Blunt is not everyone’s favourite artist, but I like most of his songs, especially his 2007 hit 1973. Track 5 is very much R ’n’ B sounding reminds me of Ed Sheeran/Maroon 5, If you like Maroon 5, Ed Sheeran, James Bay, James Morrison and OneRepublic you will like this album by James Blunt.
A date for your diary Friday 21st February 2020 is when James Blunt comes to the Motorpoint Arena Cardiff. All thoughts are my own.
