James Blunt captivated the world with his debut album, Back to Bedlam, released in 2005. The biggest debut in the UK since the Beatles, Back to Bedlam has sold 10 million copies worldwide, 2.6 million in the US alone. James Blunt also picked up two MTV Awards, five Grammy nominations and two Brit awards. All of these accolades may be summed up in one outstanding accomplishment: James Blunt is the #1 artist of the last two years. Blunt's sophomore album, All The Lost Souls, displays a huge musical growth from his smash hit debut, Back To Bedlam. These new, more mature songs, recall the sounds of Elton John, Cat Stevens, and Neil Young. In addition to being an excellent album, All The Lost Souls is packed with singles. Early response to the first single, 1973, has been extraordinary.
