James Blunt may never live down the success of his first single, 'You're Beautiful.' It made him a star in 2004 yet it also pegged him as the kind of sad-sack singer/songwriter beloved of doctors' offices the world over, which may be enough to sustain a living but not a career. Blunt is savvy enough to realize this and he started to broaden and enliven his craft fairly quickly, abandoning the slow-footed ballads of Back to Bedlam for a richly textured pop that eventually gained some semblance of color by the time Some Kind of Trouble rolled around in 2010. Three years later, Moon Landing arrived and although its title suggest some kind of spectral scope, it's not quite as lively as its predecessor, preferring the exquisitely textured adult contemporary pop of Dido, but giving those intricately produced ballads insistent melodies and rhythms. Sometimes, Blunt's phrasing can lapse into solipsistic moans -- this is especially true when the electronics are stripped away and the tempos slow -- but when everything is relatively sprightly, the feel is surprisingly appealing, even though Blunt can't help but piggyback on styles that are a guaranteed rocket to the Top 40. This is most evident on 'Bonfire Heart,' a Ryan Tedder collaboration that pounds and stomps in the style of the Lumineers, and there are echoes of Maroon 5 in the octave jumps of 'Always Hate Me,' but these pandering lapses -- accentuated by an unnecessary tribute to Whitney Houston called 'Miss America' -- do not detract from an album that is, by many measures, Blunt's richest and best collection to date.

Soulful British crooner James Blunt's wistful debut infuses the listener -- in order -- with rainy-day hope, the wistful comfort of unattainable love, and finally, world-weary resignation. While his parched and effeminate falsetto recalls Gasoline Alley-era Rod Stewart with a healthy dose of Antony and the Johnsons, it's the late Elliott Smith who casts the largest shadow on Back to Bedlam. Predictable but effective four-chord guitar motifs are the chosen vehicle for the ex-Royal Armed Forces soldier, and when they connect ('Wiseman,' 'Goodbye My Lover,' 'You Are Beautiful'), it's like a 'Dear John' letter from a lover who you know will remain a close but ultimately guarded friend. Opening track 'High' sets a determined midtempo pace that rarely wanes -- it's like an acoustic version of 'Drive' by the Cars with a Coldplay chorus. It's a pace that would sink some records, but Bedlam's perfectly rendered, under 40-minute run time ensures that the listener doesn't suffer from a melancholy overdose. Blunt recounts his harrowing experiences as part of the NATO peacekeeping force in Kosovo on the closer, 'No Bravery,' and it's a shock to hear all of the romantic lyricism that informed Bedlam up to this point reduced to 'Old men kneel and accept their fate/Wives and daughters cut and raped/A generation drenched in hate,' but it's damn effective -- as is the majority of this fine debut.
