There's always a place for a feisty young Brit with sweet songs, and James Blunt's sound triangulates just about perfectly between Coldplay, David Gray, and Damien Rice. Blunt, 28, comes from a long line of military men and served in Kosovo. Blunt's voice is smooth but also biting, and veteran producer Tom Rothrock helps him to work that contrast beautifully across the album, using '70s-era equipment that gives Bedlam a sound that's warm and familiar without being retro. The album is soothing enough to act as background music, but it's also sufficiently barbed to win over fans of more cynical songs. It's got "sensitive" written all over it, and Blunt flips into a falsetto so frequently that it may not suit all tastes, but the future looks bright indeed for this former soldier boy.
Condition:NEW. Brand new factory sealed.
