I can hear people all over the country thanking the Lord for the news that James Blunt has announced details of his new album, which is entitled 'All The Lost Souls'. It's out 18 Sep and will be preceded by the release of a single '1973' on 23 Jul. The new LP's been recorded in LA and produced by Tom Rothrock and features tracks that Blunt's already road tested at recent live dates.
The singer recently told Billboard: "I think on the first album I wrote really on my own or with my stuff in mind. But I wrote very much thinking of myself as a singer/songwriter with a guitar and piano. Now I know that I have a chance of working with my band so with that in mind, I can hear things definitely [like] how a band may come in as I'm writing a song. It adds a little diversity".
