About
This release by James Blunt marks his incredible entrance into the music industry. His voice that is soft, sensitive and fiery at the same time could play in the background but is packed with frankly-written lyrics as well. He chose to put his songs in a rather-acoustic style of everything and combines Elton John, David Gray and Coldplay althroughout.
Released in October 4, 2005 under Atlantic/WEA, this album is full of songs that highlights intricately smooth voice of James, coupled with his falcetto from time to time. From opening track "High" and along the hit songs "You're Beautiful" down to the reality-inspired track of "No Bravery", singer-songwriter James Blunt would satisfy your musical cravings.

Reviews
Listening to it is like making you're own music video. I first thought of buying it because if the song "You're Beautiful"; James Blunt did a great job writing and translating every lyrics into an insighful song. The beat of the songs and its acoustic background is very relaxing to the ear. This album will not rest in your racks but play constantly in you're background. -- Adminguy 04:06, 5 February 2007 (PST)
