My favorite singer-James Blunt


In several respects, Blunt has a very distinct and individual sound and musical style. Many musicians have attempted to define the genre to which James Blunt's music belongs.
Phil Collins in an interview in 2005 said: "James Blunt's music is like nothing I've heard before... it's acoustic, slow, soft ballads. It's not rock, nor really pop. I don't know what it is, really."
When asked to describe the sound and style of his music, Blunt, not being one to shrink from airs or pretense, said: "Essentially, it's kind of acoustic-soul-pop-guitar-folk thing. I would say it's like my own mini-genre: the James Blunt genre."
When appearing on BBC's Top Gear, as a joke, Jeremy Clarkson asked Blunt, "Do you just take in loads of helium before you sing?"
