James Blunt

Once Upon A Mind Tour - James Blunt is back on tour in spring 2020
Support: Emily Roberts

James Blunt goes back to his roots with the release of his new album „Once Upon A Mind“ on 25th October. The first single „Cold“ is already available, a lively bubbly song about love. After flirting with electronic sounds on his last album „The Afterlove“, James Blunt returns on his new album to what he masters like no other: writing timeless songs that touch heart and head equally. Exactly this effervescence of „Cold“ also characterizes the other ten songs on „Once Upon A Mind“, his sixth studio album in total. Rich in highlights, including the poignant ballad „Monsters“, the pop coolness of „5 Miles“ and the country-coloured „Halfway“.

The whole work is imbued with warmth and a strong sense of personality. „I think this is the most honest album I´ve ever made“, says James Blunt. „,Back To Bedlam‘ was similar in that I had been writing about my life experiences at the time for a while and they came together on my debut. And every song on this album represents something that I´m currently going through or have recently experienced. It is a very personal album and I am proud to share it with the world“.

The Briton released the aforementioned debut album „Back To Bedlam“ - long a classic - in autumn 2004. A little later the single „You´re Beautiful“ became a worldwide smash hit. To date, James Blunt has sold over 24 million albums, all five of them reached at least the top ten in Germany, two reached number one. Internationally, he has been able to collect around 170 platinum records. Recently, he has also shone with wit and charm on his highly entertaining Twitter account. And of course he also shows wonderful entertainer qualities on stage. His shows are real highlights, but it is only through the warmth, the sympathy and the humour which the singer radiates that they become such special experiences.

In March and April James Blunt is going to visit Germany with his new songs and old hits on a big arena tour.
