James Blunt - The New Album 'Moon Landing'

[turnaround]

So excited.

I've just finished it in Los Angeles last week, and am so excited. It's called 'Moon Landing' and it's coming out in October.
It's a really beautiful sounding record, full of loneliness and longing. There's been a lot of love put into making it, and I couldn't be happier with how it sounds... I really hope you like it too!

In keeping with the album title, here's a trailer we've made for the album featuring a song called Blue On Blue:

Big fan of him, what we can hear in the trailer sounds good to me.

I love it already.

I checked the song out, it was just premiered here on Swiss radio. I like it. I like the way they cut the lyrics in the chorus, and bridge it over to the next line.

IMO the signature of Ryan Tedder is very noticeable. Geez, that guy is all over the place again these days. Great songwriter.

I think this song here be a grower.

I think it's cool that he had different styles for all the lead singles. All have been very strong.
Hopefully the radios will play "Bonfire heart".

Unmistakably Ryan Tedder

Sounds a lot like "I Lived" by OneRepublic, love it!
Most likely my favorite James Blunt song so far!

''Bonfire Heart'' sounds special , Great song!

[Joshua]

I guess it suits him, but it feels a bit unoriginal that he's jumped on the indie hipster bandwagon all of a sudden. Not a bad track though.

[j.fco.morales]

He should have recorded something like Passenger's Let Her Go or Kodaline's High Hopes.
It suits better his thing.

[Axel]

By now I think the song absolutely rules.

Josh: With "indie hipster bandwagon" you mean the style of Lumineers or such?

Haha yep, precisely. Wearing clothes that look like they're from 1800's (don't forget to add suspenders), standing on a stage smothered in hanging fairy lights, and singing songs that are based around not much else but an acoustic guitar and a kick drum, and everyone wailing together like it's a campfire sing-a-long.

[Axel]

hahahah awesome.

(mental note to self: write such a song for Josh at some point)
