James Blunt -- Nouveauté !!

JAMES BLUNT'S NEW SINGLE "1973"

NEW ALBUM "ALL THE LOST SOULS" TO BE RELEASED SEPTEMBER 18, 2007

All The Lost Souls is the follow-up to James' 2005 debut release, Back To Bedlam, which sold in excess of 11 million copies worldwide ( including 700,000 in Canada), was No. 1 in 18 countries, Top 10 in 35 countries and received five Grammy nominations. In Canada, the smash single "You're Beautiful" from Back to Bedlam was on the Mainstream AC radio charts for 24 weeks, and holds the record for most weeks at #1 for any song on any format. In addition to being the #1 AC track of 2006, it also holds the distinction of being #1 All Format, Top 10 Hot AC and Top 20 CHR last year. Blunt is no one hit wonder - all four singles from Back To Bedlam received over 100,000 spins on Canadian radio.

All The Lost Souls was recorded in Los Angeles with Back to Bedlam producer Tom Rothrock, and features Blunt's touring band. The 10-song cycle about life and death, shows tremendous growth from Back to Bedlam, which Blunt describes as "a very honest, slightly naïve collection of thoughts, emotions and experience. I wrote them without any knowledge that anyone would hear them." All the Lost Souls opens with the layered single "1973," a nostalgic look back at sharing great times with friends. Songs such as "One of the Brightest Stars" and "Annie" deal with the vagaries and distortions that fame can bring. "Carry You Home" and "I'll Take Everything" tackle our fragile mortality, while "I Really Want You" and "Same Mistake" showcase Blunt at his most vulnerable.

James will be touring Canada in 2008.
