James Blunt, born James Hillier Blount on February 22, 1974, is an English singer, songwriter, and musician from Tidworth, Wiltshire, UK. Renowned for his emotive ballads, Blunt has carved a niche for himself in the pop rock, and folk genres. His debut album has sold more than 12 million copies all around the world. It was a big hit in the UK and reached second place in the US.
Blunt's meteoric rise to fame can be attributed to the immense success of his debut album, "Back to Bedlam," released in 2004. The album's lead single, "You're Beautiful," became a global sensation, propelling Blunt into the spotlight and earning him widespread acclaim.
The song "You're Beautiful" was a massive success, hitting number one in thirteen countries. Blunt's most famous songs are not only "You're Beautiful," but also, "Goodbye My Lover," "High," and "Wisemen." These tracks, featured on albums such as "Back to Bedlam," "All the Lost Souls," and "Moon Landing," have solidified Blunt's status as a formidable force in the realm of heartfelt and introspective songwriting.
Blunt has sold more than 20 million records globally. He's been honored with numerous awards, such as two Brit Awards where he won Best British Male in 2006. He's also scooped up two MTV Video Music Awards and two Ivor Novello Awards. Plus, he's been nominated for five Grammy Awards. In 2016, he received an Honorary Doctorate of Music from the University of Bristol.
In 2023, Blunt revealed his seventh album, "Who We Used to Be," and it hit the shelves on October 27, 2023. He also dropped a single called "Beside You" from the album on the same day. Later on, he released two more singles titled "All The Love That I Ever Needed" and "The Girl That Never Was." The latter song was a heartfelt tribute to Blunt and his wife's experience of losing a child through miscarriage.
