Moon Landing is the upcoming fourth studio album from British singer-songwriter James Blunt, due to be released on 18 October 2013. The album is the follow up to 2010's Some Kind of Trouble, and is Blunt's first new material in three years. The album features production from the likes of Steve Mac, Guy Chambers and Steve Robson, and was executively produced by Tom Rothrock, who worked with Blunt on 2005's Back to Bedlam.[2]
Background
Blunt has just finished[3] recording his fourth studio album, entitled Moon Landing, as revealed by the singer in an email to fans.[4] The album is due for release on 18 October 2013 and will feature production from Back to Bedlam producer Tom Rothrock. The lead single, "Bonfire Heart", will be released on 4 October 2013.[5] The song "Miss America" is a tribute to the late Whitney Houston, as revealed by Blunt in an acoustic video of the song which he uploaded to his YouTube channel. Blunt's return to music received widespread press coverage, after an error in the mailing system lead to the link to "Bonfire Heart" being e-mailed to more than 75% of e-mail accounts in the United Kingdom.[6]
Track listing
The album will available in three editions – a standard 11-track release, deluxe 14-track release and super deluxe box set, containing a bonus DVD, handwritten lyric booklet and special photographs from the making of the album, with the first five hundred to be signed by James himself.[7] The Japanese edition will also contain three exclusive bonus recordings.[8]
