Live Review: James Blunt in San Francisco

There's something about James Blunt's inescapable single "You're Beautiful'' that definitely says "junior high school dance." The overwrought, catchy tune--with its lyrics that can be overly simplified and taken in the wrong way--seems tailor-made for first crushes.|

About James Blunt

James Blunt (born James Hillier Blount, 22 February 1974) is a British musician whose debut album, Back To Bedlam, and single releases — especially the number one hit "You're Beautiful" — brought him to fame in 2005. His style is a mix of jazz and Northern soul, and comparisons have been made between him and early Elton John. Along with vocals, Blunt plays a wide variety of instruments including the piano, guitar, organ, marimba, and mellotron.

He is signed to Linda Perry's American label Custard, and became the first British artist to top the American singles chart in nearly a decade when his song "You're Beautiful" reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2006. The last British artist to do so had been Elton John in 1997.
