James Blunt – IS BACK! With “All the Lost Souls” – Out this September

Custard/Atlantic Records has announced the forthcoming release of the eagerly awaited second album from multi-platinum singer/songwriter JAMES BLUNT.  Entitled All the Lost Souls, the album will be released outside the U.S. on September 17, with its North American release slated for the following day.  The first single from the album, “1973,” will premiere worldwide on July 23.   All the Lost Souls comes nearly three years after the original October 2004 UK release of Blunt’s breakthrough debut, Back to Bedlam and two years following its U.S. release in October 2005.

All the Lost Souls was recorded and mixed in Los Angeles with producer Tom Rothrock, who also oversaw Back to Bedlam.  The new collection features several songs that became road-tested favorites in the course of Blunt’s marathon touring during 2006.

“For me, there was absolutely no pressure whatsoever,” says Blunt.  “Having sold over 11 million albums, I know that the likelihood of doing that again is really minimal.  Instead of setting that as a target, I set out to do and record something that I really enjoy, that I’m really happy with.  It was a release, in a way.  It’s something that I can say shows my growth and a development as a songwriter and as a musician, shows development in my own life, and records and documents it in that way.”
