James Blunt remains a popular artist with the general public, even 19 years after the enormous success of his first album “Back to Bedlam”. Listened to by more than 11 million listeners on Spotify each month, the 49-year-old musician is ready to return to the race, four years already after the release of “Once Upon A Mind”, his latest project. Since then, the singer hasn’t been idle, since he went on the road with two tours, published his first best of “The Stars Beneath My Feet (2004 – 2021)”, while collaborating with the duo Ofenbach and James Carter on “Can’t Forget You”. While his title “Monsters”, dedicated to his father, returned to grace in the charts after a moving performance in “American Idol”, James Blunt has just announced good news: the arrival of his seventh studio album, “Who We Used To Be” whose cover shows him as a child, launching a plane in the middle of a field, haloed by a rainbow sky.
