Music reviews of Back to Bedlam
Music Review: BEWARE: It's addictive
Rating: 5 Stars
Blunt is a unique musician. He's a beutiful lyricist (he could have been a poet) and his songs are true, heartfelt. It doesn't matter whether they're about love or not, they're honest and full of human emotion.
He's got a very distinct voice, and when you listen to him, you know that's him. This debut album of his, 'Back to Bedlam', shows clearly that this is an artist that's here to stay.
Some of my favorite songs of the album are 'High', 'Goodbye My Lover', and 'Tears and Rain'. I listen to 'High' and it's just an experience, a movie playing out in my head (unfortunately neither of the videos for the song captured it very well, I guess). 'Goodbye My Lover' is at the same time so personal and so universal and I guess that's why it's a favorite. It's so naked. So human. And 'Tears and rain' has a great melody and the lyrics are wonderful.
Finally, James performing live is excellent. He always gives 100%, we actually see him completely involved with the song. I've had the chance to watch one of his concerts live here in Rio and I absolutely loved it.
Highly recommended.
Description of Back to Bedlam
Simply put, James Blunt is the most successful debut artist of the year in the UK! However, he isn't one of those guys who finished school and set off to become a musician. The one time British army captain (and latest ina long line of Blunts in the armed forces) served stints as a peacekeeper in Kosovo and guard at Buckingham Palace before hanging up his uniform. His days of carrying a gun behind him, Blunt quickly began turning heads with his soaring vocals and stirring songs. His debut album, Back to Bedlam, has earned widespread praise, including comparisons to the likes of Damien Rice, David Gray and a young Elton John.As a piece of propaganda, James Blunt's album Back to Bedlam does more for changing the face of the British Army than a series of television adverts ever could. Swapping a rifle for a guitar, the former cavalryman's ballad-heavy debut is a clearly aiming to win the battle for the public's hearts and minds. The U.K. success of singles like "You're Beautiful" and "No Bravery" (inspired by his time stationed in Bosnia) are both heartfelt and sensitive, the latter packing an additional emotional punch beyond the typical lovelorn ballads of his contemporaries like Damien Rice. But Blunt also sings with conviction about matters of the heart, and that's the territory that most of Back to Bedlam visits, with songs of loss like "Goodbye My Lover", "So Long Jimmy" and "Billy". And throughout, the arrangements remain understated yet effective, thanks to the input of such heavyweight producers and songwriters like Linda Perry and Guy Chambers. All of which prove that there's a lot of depth to this modern, musical hero. --Robert Burrow
