2017 studio album by James Blunt
The Afterlove studio album by English singer James Blunt , released on 24 March 2017 through Atlantic Records .[1] [2] The Afterlove World Tour in August 2017.
Background [ edit ]
On 23 January 2017, Blunt posted a video clip on his Twitter to announce The Afterlove , with the caption "Check out my 12 inch..." In the clip, Blunt appeared naked from the waist up in his bathtub, promising to show fans "something huge", with the camera then panning down to him holding a 12-inch copy of the album.[3] [4]
Critical reception [ edit ]
At Metacritic , which assigns a normalised rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, The Afterlove received an average score of 54 based on 4 reviews.[5] AllMusic gave the album a positive four-star review, writing: "The Afterlove is a brave bid for contemporary relevance in 2017, a wonderful step outside his [Blunt's] comfort zone that is more memorable and exciting than much of his output this decade."[6] Financial Times Sheeran ) [that] attest to Blunt's musical staying power."[7]
Richard Godwin of the London Evening Standard t ]he self-deprecating singer songwriter has not lost his way with sentiment" and that the album "finds the former soldier renovating his balladry by means of an R'n'B filter and a few tricks learned from his label-mate: judicious use of auto-tune, choppy guitar grooves and disarming honesty." Godwin also called "Bartender" "catchier than the common cold."[10] The Guardian s ]lightly desperate and actively risible." Although labelling the lyrics "inoffensive", Aroesti went on to write: "with Blunt having adopted a watered-down version of Justin Bieber 's asinine tropical house it smacks of a desire to edge on to Radio 1 playlists and into student nights incognito, but only serves to highlight how irritating the sound has become."[8]
Singles [ edit ]
The first single from the album, "Love Me Better ", debuted at number 93 on the UK Singles Chart .[12] Bartender ", was released on 10 March 2017 along with an accompanying music video.[13]
