James Blunt has been breaking hearts all over Europe as he goes on tour to promote his album ‘All The Lost Souls’.
The honey-voiced one has been everywhere from Russia to Finland, with a brief detour to Dubai for the annual Jazz Festival, where he performed alongside John Legend.
During his 90minute set in Belgrade, many (mostly female) members of the audience were bought to tears as they sang along to ‘You’re Beautiful’ and ‘Goodbye My Lover’ - as well as tracks from his current album ‘All The Lost Souls’.
At one point he sat on his piano and told the audience “I met many Serbs who immediately became my friends. I talked to them and I was moved by their courage and compassion. That’s how this song was made – No Bravery”.
This was particulary poignant, due to the time James had spent in Kosovo as part of the KOR force.
The concert ended with the song “1973”, a song, says Blunt, for all lost souls, a key single from the latest album which exhibits a noticeable 70’s influence, a nostalgic period for Blunt.
“The song is dedicated to a girl named Simone…this song that celebrates the time we spent together in 2006”, said Blunt.
His European tour finishes on Saturday 7th March with a sell-out gig in Athens – after that we imagine James will be on his way back home to Ibiza for some much needed R&R.
