　　James Blunt的藝人資料

　　布朗特在幼年時上過鋼琴和小提琴課，到了中學才大量接觸流行音樂，受到同學的影響學習吉他，在14歲時開始寫歌。就讀布里斯托大學時，他的畢業(yè)論文題目是〈形象的商品化：流行偶像的誕生〉(The Commodification of Image - Production of a Pop Idol)。布朗特在2002年離開英國軍隊，為了能展開他的音樂生涯，將姓氏Blount改成Blunt當作藝名，方便拼寫。離開軍隊不久后，他與EMI唱片公司簽唱片約，和Twenty-First Artists公司簽經紀約。之后，琳達·佩瑞(Linda Perry)在2003年創(chuàng)立Custard唱片公司，她拜訪倫敦，聽到布朗特的宣傳帶，且聽了他現(xiàn)場表演，幾天后便和他簽約，一個月后，布朗特就前往洛杉磯進行錄音工作Tom Rothrock。

　　Blunt的歌聲就跟他的鋼琴指法一樣沉重，感慨地紀錄這歷史的傷痛，雖然，Blunt的歌不全然都這樣的嚴肅，但卻都是相當扣人心弦的，像紀錄著難以忘情、怦然心動的情感小品“You're Beautiful”就把愛情世界里的偶然、巧合與失落表達得十分動人，他的經紀人稱贊這首歌是21世紀版的“Your Song”’，仔細聽著整張專輯，還真會讓人懷念起Elton John剛出道時的樂風，制作人Tom Rothrock則認為Blunt就像是英國樂界足以與Beck、Elliott Smith相抗衡的創(chuàng)作型歌手。James Blunt不想花太多時間解釋每首歌的故事，只希望聽者能從他的歌曲中找到人生旅程中的某些段落所會擁有的感覺，一份感同身受的奇妙感覺。

　　白天，他是帶領3萬人和平部隊的軍官;夜晚，他在坦克車里寫下全英5周冠軍曲You're beautiful一個人。一把吉他、365天、唱遍全英小酒館他用音樂征服全英百萬人心。

　　2014年，Blunt來港舉行演唱會。同月28日，他的唱片《Moon Landing》排名該周第八。4月，他的單曲《Postcards》MV首播。

　　2016年2月2日，他發(fā)表公開他的第五張新專輯正在創(chuàng)作中。

　　James Blunt個人經歷

　　2003-2006：Back to Bedlam

　　Blunt recorded Back to Bedlam in 2003 with producer Tom Rothrock in Conway Recording Studios and Rothrock's home studio in Los Angeles, playing many instruments himself.During recording, he lodged with actress Carrie Fisher. Fisher contributed in naming the album and Blunt recorded the song "Goodbye My Lover" in her bathroom.Back to Bedlam was released in the UK in October 2004.

　　Blunt's debut single in the UK was "High" (co-written with Ricky Ross of Deacon Blue). This song initially peaked below the Top 100 of the UK Singles Chart, however after the subsequent success of "You're Beautiful" it finally made the Top 75 before being re-released.The song was chosen to appear in a Vodafone commercial in Italy, and was a Top 10 hit in that country.

　　Blunt's third single, "You're Beautiful", was his break-out hit. The song debuted at number 12 in the UK, and rose all the way to number one six weeks later.The song also received huge airplay in the UK, propelling Back to Bedlam to number one on the UK Albums Chart. The extensive airplay ultimately led to Blunt and his co-writers being awarded the Ivor Novello Award for Most Performed Work.After the success of "You're Beautiful" in the UK, the song crossed over to mainland Europe, becoming one of the biggest hits of summer 2005 across the continent. In the US, "You're Beautiful" made its debut in the summer of 2005 on WPLJ, a prominent radio station in New York City, despite not having been released to radio yet. The song was released to radio stations in the fall of 2005 and climbed into the Top 10 in three radio formats: Adult Contemporary Music, Hot Adult Top 40 Tracks, and Adult album alternative.Blunt became the first British artist to top the American singles chart in nearly a decade when "You're Beautiful" reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2006; the last British artist to do so had been Elton John in 1997 with the song "Candle in the Wind 1997".

　　"Goodbye My Lover" was released as the fourth UK single from the album in December 2005, and the second US single. The songs "High" and "Wisemen" were subsequently re-released in 2006. Blunt started off 2006 celebrating five Brit Award nominations, going on to win Best British male solo artist and Best pop act categories, having already started an 11-month world tour. On 31 August, Blunt won two awards at the 2006 MTV Video Music Awards, with "You're Beautiful" winning the award for Best Male Video.

　　In late 2005, Blunt made appearances on The Oprah Winfrey Show and as a musical guest on Saturday Night Live. Eight of the songs on the album were featured in television shows (The O.C., Grey's Anatomy and many more), films (Undiscovered), and advertising campaigns (Hilton Hotels, Sprint telecommunications) throughout 2005 and 2006. Blunt performed "You're Beautiful" at the 49th Grammy Awards in February 2007, dedicating the song to the late Ahmet Ertegün of Atlantic Records, but he did not win in any of the five categories for which he had received nominations (including Best New Artist, won by Carrie Underwood).

　　The album eventually sold 11.2 million copies and topped the album charts in 16 territories worldwide.It sold 2.6 million in the U.S. and was certified 2× platinum.In Britain the album sold over three million copies, was certified 10× platinum, and entered the Guinness Book of World Records for the fastest selling album in one year.

　　In 2005, Blunt performed 90 live shows, mainly across the UK and Europe, and supported Jason Mraz in a North American tour. The "Back to Bedlam World Tour" started off in January 2006, covering cities in Europe, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, and Japan, as well as three separate headline tours in North America, ending in November of that year.Not including promotional appearances, Blunt performed over 140 live shows in 2006.

　　2007-2008:All the Lost Souls

　　Blunt's second studio album, All the Lost Souls, was released on 17 September 2007 in the United Kingdom and one day later in North America. It sold 65,000 units in its first week, and was certified gold in the UK after only four days.By the end of January 2008, the album had sold 600,000 copies in the UK, and 4.5 million copies internationally.Blunt completed the album's songs at his home in Ibiza in the winter of 2006–2007. He performed five of the ten album tracks during his 2005–2006 tours; lyrics, melodies, and harmonies were refined for the studio recording, on which his touring band played and Tom Rothrock worked as producer.

　　2010-2013:Some Kind of Trouble

　　Blunt's third studio album titled Some Kind of Trouble, was released on 8 November 2010. The album debuted at number four in the UK with over 100,000 copies sold in the first week. The album's first single "Stay the Night" was released on 27 October 2010. The single did much better in Europe than the UK, sitting at number two on the European Airplay Chart for five consecutive weeks, but only charting at number 37 in the UK top 40. The second single from the album, "So Far Gone" was released in the UK on 3 January 2011. The third single from the album, "If Time Is All I Have" was released in the UK on 4 April 2011. Overall critical reception has been mixed, with Allmusic saying, in a positive review, that "Some Kind of Trouble is a step in the right direction for Blunt, a move toward love songs free of pretension"whilst BBC Music felt "When all's said, Some Kind of Trouble is not a terrible record by any means, but there's little sense that Blunt has advanced, and equally little sense that it'll make any difference to his bottom line."

　　2013-present:Moon Landing

　　Blunt's fourth album, "Moon Landing", was released on 18 October 2013. It featured production from Back to Bedlam producer Tom Rothrock. The lead single, "Bonfire Heart", debuted at number six before peaking at number two the following week in the UK Singles Chart. The single went to number 1 in Australia, Germany, Switzerland and Austria, and was in top 10 in several other countries.

　　On 16 September 2014, Blunt confirmed on his official Instagram account that Moon Landing would be re-released on 3 November 2014. The new version of the album was named Moon Landing - Apollo Edition and contained 19 tracks: 11 from the original disc, plus the three bonus tracks of the deluxe version (Telephone, Kiss This Love Goodbye and Hollywood) and five new tracks (Smoke Signals, When I Find Love Again, Breathe, Trail of Broken Hearts and Working it Out). The new track When I Find Love Again was released as a single that same day, after being played on BBC's Radio 2 for the first time. The official music video for When I Find Love Again was released on 14 October 2014.The new version of the album also contains a 19-track live DVD recorded during Blunt's performance in the 2014 edition of the Paléo Festival.
