Mr James Blunt



I haven't listened to the whole thing; in fact, I've only listened to the popular one, "You're Beautiful," but here's James Blunt's album in its entirety. He has a very distinct voice and he's pretty cute. "You're Beautiful" is a gentle little song, but beyond that, that's all I can give you for now. Did I mention he's cute?

here's what amazon.com had to say in a generally favorable review (but they all are over there):
As a piece of propaganda, James Blunt’s album Back to Bedlam does more for changing the face of the British Army than a series of television adverts ever could. Swapping a rifle for a guitar, the former cavalryman’s ballad-heavy debut is a clearly aiming to win the battle for the public’s hearts and minds. The U.K. success of singles like "You’re Beautiful" and "No Bravery" (inspired by his time stationed in Bosnia) are both heartfelt and sensitive, the latter packing an additional emotional punch beyond the typical lovelorn ballads of his contemporaries like Damien Rice. But Blunt also sings with conviction about matters of the heart, and that’s the territory that most of Back to Bedlam visits, with songs of loss like "Goodbye My Lover", "So Long Jimmy" and "Billy".

<edit: so now I'm listening to it, and I'm enjoying it. Slow, but really suits this mellow, snowy day.>
