About The Truth

Blunt's classic 2004 debut album Back To Bedlam, has just been named as one of the top ten best-selling albums of that decade, and now with Once Upon A Mind, he has reinforced his reputation for writing honest, emotional songs that people can easily relate to. After flirting with electronica on his last album (2017's The Afterlove), James Blunt returns to what he does best on Once Upon A Mind, writing classic songs that touch both the heart and the head. The album sees Blunt collaborating with a variety of producers such as Steve Robson, Jimmy Hogarth and TMS - resulting in a freshness that resonates throughout the eleven-song collection, with highlights including first single "Cold" (with a music video mirroring the iconic "You're Beautiful" video fourteen years later), the poignant ballad "Monsters," pop-infused "5 Miles" and the country tinged "Halfway."
