Thoughts

So look, we all know where we stand with James Blunt, he is widely ridiculed for no real reason, but hugely self-deprecating thus somehow gets away with it all. I wasn’t expecting much from this album but it’s actually really good. Some grown up pop songs, thoughtful and in places moving - the song about his lost child, and of course the track about Carrie Fisher, both standing out. A surprisingly strong album all things considered!

Rating: 4 / 5
