This stunning debut by James Blunt–a British soldier turned musician–will take your breath away; literally! Every single track on this beautiful release is lyrically multidimensional with incredible depth and addictive melodies. It\’s definitely the best release by a new artist this year hands down.

The ballad-heavy, Back to Bedlam, is romanticism reinvented. The ecstatic High starts off the album with James pleading, \”Will you be my shoulder / when I am gray and older / promise me tomorrow starts with you.\”

It\’s followed by \”You\’re Beautiful\”–an ode to love that can\’t be had. Equally beautiful and heartbreaking as he sings, \”But it\’s time to face the truth / I will never be with you.\”

\”Wisemen\”, one of my favorite tracks, asks \”Gotta ask yourself the question / where are yo now?\” It\’s one of those

In the melancholic ballad \”Goodbye my Lover\”, James pleads with his departed love to remember the good times they had together and try to be his friend. He ends it with the chilling, \”I\’m so hollow baby / I\’m so hollow.\”

Then comes my favorite track in this release, \”Tears and Rain\”, in which James wishes he could do away with all the demons in his head and soul; the conflicts that come with the simple act of living life. He even makes a reference to \’Dorain Gray\”–Oscar Wild\’s alter ego character from The Picture of Dorian Gray. Absolutely solid track!

The album goes on with songs commenting on the craziness of life\’s affairs with \”Out of my Mind\” to infidelity with \”Billy.\”

\”Cry\” and \”No Bravery\” are two emotionally packed tracks through which James tells us what he thinks of war. In \”No Bravery\” he goes:

\”There are children standing here,
Arms outstretched into the sky,
Tears drying on their face.
He has been here.
Brothers lie in shallow graves.
Fathers lost without a trace.
A nation blind to their disgrace,
Since he\’s been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.\”

James Blunt\’s voice takes some time to get used to, but his passion, lyrics and music are irresistible. He is to 2005 what Damien Rice was to 2004: definitely the best new artist of the year!

I\’ve never listened to an album so much since Keane\’s. It\’s guaranteed to satisfy regardless of what genre of music you are into.

I am still singing along!
