James Blunt // Stay The Night

It's been a while since we've heard anything new from Mr. Blunt, but now he's back with a new single and album (following shortly)

Some people may be mistaken upon hearing the first few chords that it's a new version of Train's 'Hey Soul Sister' as it has the same sort of sound. Yes, gone (at present) is doom and gloom and it's hello sunshine. It's a nice upbeat and happy song just as we're heading into winter and is just what the doctor ordered. Lyrically, James doesn't disappoint and you'll soon find yourself singing along, even if it is just with the chorus.

It's nice to hear something different from James. But that's not to say that the whole album is going to be all rosy like this, but it is a good start. Only problem is the similarity to the afore mentioned song, so could be construed as trying to play off the back of that. Fun little number that fans probably aren't expecting and may well draw in some new fans.

Rating: 4.5/5
