The Briton became famous in 2005 with the song “You’re Beautiful”. He was no longer able to build on the great success of the single – now he tells us what it does to him.
British singer-songwriter James Blunt says he doesn’t mind being reduced to just one hit. “Isn’t one hit enough? Shit, man, it does,” said the 50-year-old in an interview with “Zeit”. “There are probably not very many people in Germany who don’t know “You’re Beautiful.” There are also not many people in Singapore or Thailand or Vietnam who don’t know this song. It would be greedy not to be satisfied with that. ” The song can be found on Blunt’s debut album “Back to Bedlam” and was released as a single in 2005. To date, Blunt has released seven albums.
This question bores the songwriter
Most journalists who ask him about “You’re Beautiful” are “rather negative” about him, Blunt said. “Why don’t they ask me: James, how happy are you to have had a huge fucking hit? How big was the house you bought with all that money? I can also tell you how conversations usually go in these cases . Next up: But you must be bored playing that song over and over again. I’m bored with the damn question!”
Blunt now lives in Ibiza and Switzerland. His latest album “Who We Used to Be” was released in October 2023.
