James Blunt's new album "Some Kind Of Trouble" will be released in the U.S. on January 25th, 2011.Produced by Steve Robson (with additional production from The Bird & the Bee's Greg Kurstin, and Eg White), the album marks a new chapter for Blunt, who sees his internationally successful first two albums as a kind of matched pair – action and reaction.
"The second album was quite introverted," he says. "It was about perception. But these new songs are not about fame and celebrity – they're about reality. I've been hanging out with my friends, writing songs about the world we live in, and where we want to go."
Among the highlights of "Some Kind Of Trouble" are the bittersweet "These Are The Words," the trenchant, pointed "Superstar" and the powerful, unsentimental ballad, "No Tears," which Blunt views as the album's anchor, describing it as "the summing up of a life," explaining that, "There are certain songs along the way that are milestones, that define a writer to themselves. 'No Tears' is my milestone on this album."
As the release of "Some Kind Of Trouble" approaches, Blunt is already eager to share his new material with his fans everywhere, promising that "We're going to have the time of our lives playing these songs." A worldwide tour is slated to kick off in early 2011 – full details will be announced shortly.
