The Afterlove

A surprising pivot toward tropical house and polished electropop. James Blunt trades his acoustic guitar for synthesizers and a sharper, self-aware sense of humor.

The vulnerable, stripped-back piano bridge in Make Me Better that recalls his classic balladry amidst modern production.
