You're Beautiful: James Blunt

You're Beautiful - James Blunt
Single out: May 23, 2005

Genre: indie boy soul

Review: Beloved by Radio 2, James is growing on me. He has deceptively quiet vocals that frame his melodies, and this new single is yet another good release from his album Back to Bedlam. A singer songwriter in the vein of Damien Rice, this is a nice to listen to track that has the ability to relax and transport you to somewhere beautiful, even if you are just doing the ironing.

'You're Beautiful' is the sublime new single from James Blunt, taken from his critically acclaimed debut album, 'Back To Bedlam'. The single follows the release of the Radio 2 A Listed, 'Wisemen'.

The track was co-written by James Blunt and produced by Tom Rothrock whose credits include Beck, Badly Drawn Boy and Elliot Smith (one of Blunt's major influences). James supported both Elton John and Lloyd Cole & The Commotions on their sold out UK tours last year and has just finished performing at the South By Southwest Festival in Austin, Texas as featured heavily on Radio 2.

Blunt is pleased to announce he will be joining Ryan Adams, Willy Mason and Bright Eyes on the John Peel Stage at this year's Glastonbury Festival, Sunday June 26th and will also be playing at the Wireless Festival on June 29th. Initially signed to Custard Records by the hugely successful producer/songwriter Linda Perry (Christina Aguilera, Pink, Courtney Love), the album was recorded in LA and is heavily influenced by the classic American 1970's singer/songwriter tradition.

In some ways everything you need to know about James Blunt is there in his astonishing debut album, 'Back To Bedlam'. Ranging from acoustic, stripped down and intimate songs through to band driven, energetic numbers, the album charts a man's journey through life, his experiences, relationships, hardships and aspirations. Time Out described 'Back To Bedlam' as "a work of tender, intimate songcraft" while Q singled out Blunt in their Best Of British Issue.
