James Blunt

All The Lost Souls (Atlantic)

All The Lost Souls

From bland to blunt ? it's been a rollercoaster ride for James Blunt - the high-pitched half-pint posh ex-Army captain turned singer since he hit the big time with You're Beautiful.

The big-hit wonder started life as the next big thing with one huge No 1 and a platinum-selling debut - then dubbed James Bland as Beautiful was played to death. Now, though, he's back with All The Lost Souls which is a kind of musical two-fingers retort to the ridiculers.







And while Blunt doesn't push the boat out, he has produced a quite superb album full of the sort of ballad-type tunes he really does do best. With a bit of work Blunt could be the new Gilbert O'Sullivan.

Your Horoscopes by Russell Grant

Gemini:

Someone will steal credit for your work, which is maddening. Drawing attention to the problem will only make you look petty. You're better off accepting the situation with quiet dignity and grace. Move on to the next assignment, but make sure to sign your name to every piece of work that is submitted. Tell your boss what you are doing on a regular basis. You'll sound like a pest, but at least it's better than getting stabbed in the back.More
