James Blunt at his “All the Lost Souls” Album Release Party on September 20, 2007, at Marquee in New York City.

Blunt’s breakout hit “You’re beautiful” from his first album, “Back to Bedlam,” in 2006 is about a moment where I saw my ex-girlfriend on the underground with her new man, who I didn’t know existed, and she and I caught eyes and lived a lifetime in that moment,” Blunt said. “But I didn’t do anything at the time, and I haven’t seen her.”

Blunt lives on Ibiza, a Spanish island, where he wrote the songs for his latest album, “All the Lost Souls,” which comes out this week.

“The first [album] was naive and innocent in its approach, and that was part of it’s charm, I think,” Blunt said. “But the second album, I have a little more experience as a songwriter and a little more confidence. And with the amazing things that happened with “Back to Bedlam,” which I never expected in the first place, it kind of gave me a freedom really … because I know I can’t compete with the first and I don’t want to write songs to please a previous audience or the people who didn’t enjoy the first or try and get one critic to give me a good review.

“So instead,” he said, “I made an album that I enjoyed, with songs that have meant a lot over the past 3½ years.”

I think Blunt can sing but he still looks terrible. He probably could look better if he shaved & get a new hairdo. WHat do you think? He lives in Ibiza & he is has no suntan??? Can you picture a tanned, clean cut Blunt? I think he could look way better, what do you say?
