James Blunt live in Manila on May 19

Many foreign artist are invading the Philippines in this early stage of the year. Recently, performers like Maroon 5, Ne-Yo, Incubus, Mandy Moore and other foreign acts gave a nice and memorable performances to their Filipino fans.

Another great musician will perform in Manila, Philippines. English singer and songwriter James Blunt(real name James Hillier Blount) who gained his popularity in 2005 with his single “You’re Beautiful” will serenade us with his inspiring songs.

His third album released in 2007, "All the Lost Souls" features ten songs about life and death. The first single in this album entitled “1973“ gave a nostalgic look back. Other included tracks like "One of the Brightest Stars" and "Annie" deal with the vagaries and distortions that fame can bring.

James Blunt scheduled date in Manila is on May 19, 2008 at the Araneta Coliseum. It is presented by Viva Concerts & Events, Inc. (For ticket inquiries, call landline 687-6181 locals 620 and 745.)

In his past interview he admits that he finds language limiting, but, in song, he finds the freedom to write what he can’t speak. “My music is autobiographical. It’s my expression and it’s for me,” he says. “It’s a necessary expression; otherwise I’d just be this Brit that has a shell.” As for those who may find his confessions too dramatic, he quotes Jeff Buckley: “Sensitivity isn’t being wimpy; it’s about being so painfully aware that a flea landing on a dog is like a sonic boom.”
