James reflects; ‘Earlier this year during lockdown, I was lucky enough to have a Zoom writing session with the very talented Jack Savoretti.\u00a0 We had never worked together before, but our managers thought it might be a good idea to get us together to do some writing.\u00a0 I\u2019m very pleased we did.\u00a0 Not only is Jack a great guy, but we wrote a banger of a single!\u201d<\/p>\n

James also recently announced a nine date UK arena tour for 2022 which will see him celebrate songs spanning a 17-year career that has spawned over 23 million album sales, a global smash hit with \u2018You\u2019re Beautiful\u2019, two Brit Awards and two Ivor Novello Awards, as well as receiving five Grammy Award nominations.<\/p>\n

Amongst the string of hit singles, ‘The Stars Beneath My Feet (2004-2021)\u2019 will include four new songs (\u2018Love Under Pressure\u2019, \u2018Unstoppable\u2019, \u2018Adrenaline\u2019 & \u2018I Came For Love\u2019), as well as four exclusive live performances from around the world, including the Glastonbury Festival. It also features stunning tracks from his latest Gold-selling album \u2018Once Upon A Mind\u2019, including \u2018Cold\u2019, and the heartbreaking ballad for his father, \u2018Monster\u2019.<\/p>\n

James\u2019 classic 2004 debut album \u2018Back To Bedlam\u2019, was recently named as one of the top ten best selling albums of that decade, and with \u2018Once Upon A Mind\u2019, James Blunt reinforced his reputation for writing honest, emotional songs that people can easily relate to. The album marked a return to what James Blunt does best \u2013 writing classic songs that touch both the heart and the head.
