James Blunt Returns With Forthcoming Album, ‘Who We Used To Be’, And Releases New Single, ‘Beside You’

James Blunt is back with a sparkling new album, ‘Who We Used To Be’, set for release on October 27th via Atlantic Records. The new long player features the bright and breezy uptempo rock track, ‘Beside You’. 

Produced by The Six, a Manchester collective who have worked with Clean Bandit, Marshmello and James Arthur, ‘Beside You’ is a feel -good summer anthem.

“It’s a bit of a celebration,” James says. “An upbeat banger about finally being with the one you’ve been searching for your whole life.”

Listen to ‘Beside You’ here.

‘Who We Used To Be’ is James’ first studio album since the acclaimed, top 3 album, ‘Once Upon A Mind’, in 2019. This time out he has worked with a variety of producers including Jonny Coffer, Red Triangle, Jack & Coke and Steve Robson. His recent greatest hits collection, ‘The Stars Beneath My Feet’, went Gold selling over 100,000 copies.

James Blunt has become something of a national treasure as he approaches his twentieth anniversary. He is respected for his honesty, wit, and charm as showcased on record, onstage and with his ever engaging twitter account.

James’ 2004 debut album ‘Back To Bedlam’ featured the global smash hit, ‘You’re Beautiful’, and is one of the top ten best selling albums of that decade. He’s won two Brit Awards, two Ivor Novello Awards and has received 5 Grammy nominations.
