Think about the music that was popular five or more years ago. Are any of those artists still making music? Have they been forgotten? What ever happened to them? This is the place that will answer those questions.
Welcome to “What ever happened to?” a blog dedicated to discovering which artists have truly faded into obscurity and those who have not. Aaron Carter, Cassie, Blue October and other long lost acts will be dragged back to the spotlight right here.
Today’s question is, what ever happened to James Blunt?
Almost 10 years ago United Kingdom music artist James Blunt released his debut album “Back to Bedlam.” Initially the album attracted little attention until he released the break-out hit “You’re Beautiful.” The single led to a revival of the album which went double platinum in the United States and ten times platinum in Britain.
Blunt then went on a world tour in 2006. He even gained enough popularity for Weird Al Yankovic to create a parody song called “You’re Pitiful.” “Back to Bedlam” would later become the best-selling album of the decade in the United Kingdom.
What ever happened after 2006? Many people forgot about him and labeled Blunt as a one-hit wonder.
Since 2006, James Blunt has released three other albums. The most recent album, “Moon Landing,” went platinum in Australia and gold in four other countries.
Blunts’ other albums were not promoted well in America. This may explain why Americans have not heard from him recently. After listening to James Blunt’s post 2006 work it is clear that he has only grown as an artist since then.
James Blunt was never a public person. He only expresses himself through his music as an artist should. Blunt is alive and still making music.
What ever happened to James Blunt? Absolutely nothing happened to James Blunt. America simply forgot about him.
