james's new one

I got James Blunt's new album earlier this week. I haven't listened to it much, but I'm definitely not immediately-taken with many of the songs, either. I think they will grow on me, though. I'm already warming up to "1973," the first single, though I totally thought "meh" when I first heard it a few weeks back. My current favorite is, "I Really Want You," which, though it has rather unoriginal lyrics, has sections in which James sings in an interestingly different rhythm. (Album is streamable on James Blunt's MySpace page.)

Also, Amazon.com has a free streaming video of a live performance of "I Really Want You."
