Back To Bedlam - James Blunt

In a music industry mostly devoid of passion and soul James Blunt is a shining light of a song writer. The fact is that this young man is a deeply profound individual and seems wise beyond his few years. He writes with such power and emotion that one can't help but be touched by his work. The single "You're Beautiful" could be the creative zenith of his career. It an almost perfect moment of clarity and understanding and reaches you on such a personal ...
...defining emotions is almost unparalleled. His chilled out style, is perfect for the power of his lyrics. Those who have heard the single won't be disappointed with the rest of the album which is in the same vain. The album is a journey, and unlike many albums have been described this way, "Back to Bedlam" deserves to be called such. This gentle style is a perfect medium to express the very personal issues that the album explores. Whether it be friendship, ...

Review of Back To Bedlam - James Blunt

This is a slick well produced album. This is not an album that you need time to get to grow on you, this one is there from the start. Melodic,smooth and sweet. This is music that can be played any time and needs no real 'mood' to enjoy. This album holds no surprises but that doesn't mean it's just a re-hash of Back to Bedlam. This does have a lighter less depressive edge than the previous album. Easy middle of the road listening that is a worthy addition to any music collection. Worth buying; if you are looking for 'edge' no. If you are looking for an album that you will still be listening to in ten years time ; a resounding YES. ...

Ok after hearing the haunting single "You're beautiful" decided to look more into James Blunt. After hearing a couple of the songs on the album I decided to purchase it. I've never really been into this kind of music (more of a pop fan) so to find an album in my collection that I just keep on playing and playing must mean something. James Blunt as brought out one of the best solo debut albums I can think of in a long time. Songs range from subjects ...
...long, Jimmy). to a lost love (goodbye my lover). I am finding it hard to label in which category music wise to place James Blunt, and that is the trouble, you can't. He isn't pop and he isn't indie. His music is a breath of fresh air. Mark my words James Blunt is going to be a big star this next few years. So get his debut album before everyone else jumps on the band wagon. James Blunt, best male singer at the Brits 2006. No? who knows. ...

2005 Saw JB release Back to Bedlam. I like this album. Having only heard "You're Beautiful" before I bought it I wan't sure what to expect. I've listened to all songs several times in the past year, and still not bored with them. Track 1. High - A single, did ok in the charts, follow up single to You're Beatiful. Slow tune and smart lyrics. #2 You're Beautiful - Quite simply a fantastic song, loved by millions. Very catchy lyrics. Fantastic high ...
...a different song from the others on the album. Chorus & versus which are sang fast. Chorus very catchy. #4 Goodbye my Lover. also a released single, another slow piano classic, a tear jerker, lovely lyrics & singing! #5 Tears & Rain #6 Out of my mind - 5& 6 very similar, nice rhyming lyrics, slow songs, fantastic vocals. #7 So Long Jimmy. About Jimmy Hendrix, chorus is really catchy, jumpy tune, one of my faves! #8 Billy, Similar to #7 but not ...

Would you belive it James Blunt a tank commander in the Army........could you imagine him in your tank singing out his dreams, If i was there i would have said.....oh JAMES...NOOOO, your a commander in the army, and you come in my tank singing like a pro...NOOOOOOOOOOO....you need to take your uniform clad gear off my vehicle and start to think about your future. Well that's what I think would have happened, and he done the right thing, Just picking ...
...end. Straight home music on..........You have got to be kidding me this man has got an excellent voice, reaching the high notes and you can hear every word he mouths he means with such emotion. Not just his talent through singing shows his potential to make it big, but his guitar playing, so clear and tense. Not to mention his songwriting. You could never get bored with him, everytime you press play and you just stop everything and try to sing along ...

Review of Back To Bedlam - James Blunt

When i first got this album, i was unsure about it but after listening to it a few times, you start to notice songs that didnt catch you're attention the first few times. I began to skip 'You're beautiful' due to overplay on the radio, and listen to hidden gems like 'No Bravery' a really great song with sad lyrics but is my favourite on the whole album. Of course the brilliant 'Goodbye My Lover', which nearly brought me to tears when i first heard ...
...take notice. Although there are these brilliant songs, there are a few songs that you'll want to skip every time. I have to admit that overall this is a very good album, he has a very unique voice and some very beautiful songs. If you buy this album because you liked 'You're beautiful', it may not be as good as you expect. But if you buy it for his latest songs 'Wisemen' and 'High' then you will be pleasantly suprised. ...

Review of Back To Bedlam - James Blunt

Now, when my mother came to visit me a presented me with a Cd that she had recently bought and thought I'd like, I really thought that she cant have possibly known me at all. I'm a rock chick through and through and this sort of "cheesy pop" really wasn't my thing. However, just to take the mickey one night after a few bottles of wine, I decided to give it a go. I had just split up with my pretty long term boyfriend and the first thing I noticed ...
...me. Especially the song, "Goodbye my Lover", which instantly had me sobbing my heart out because it was so true after my recent break up. The whole album blew me away, the lyrics so thought through and so true to life, the amazing vocal ability of his voice. It was a stunning album and I really must admit, I swallowed my pride and said thank you to my mother, for bringing me the Cd i would possibly never ever had bought or listened to, and one I ...

...of songs but he is back to his best with so long jimmy. The only qualm some people might have is that there are only 10 songs on this album, it wasn't a problem for me, I just put it on repeat as you can listen to it time and time again! Enjoy and remember you can learn to sing along, the words are on the inside cover! ...

James Blunt is a breath of fresh air to the music industry, his album "Back to Bedlam" is quite brilliant. He has a unique style that has proved very popular with all ages. There is both uplifting and sad songs on an all-round album. Songs like "High" "You're beautiful" and "Good-bye my lover" really touched me. Great album i would recommend it to anyone of any age or gender. This is an absolutly outstanding album, if you like the likes of James ...

To me one of the greatest artists of the present day. James Blunt performs songs with such depth and emotion it runs shivers down your spine. Close your eyes and you can feel the emotion run through you. Includes favourites Your Beautiful and Goodbye My Lover, two of the most beautiful songs of the year, are these auto-biographical? In his recordings for the BBC James claimed they were based on personal experience. Lucky girls! In the track No Bravery, ...
