James Blunt | Airplane Mode

James Blunt is back. The singer-songwriter who has won two BRIT Awards, been nominated for five Grammys, and has sold over 20 million albums worldwide releases "Airplane Mode", his eighth studio album, on November 6, 2026.

James Blunt himself describes the album as his strongest work in 20 years. Musically, he returns to the warm, acoustic pop sound from the late 90s and 00s, with inspiration from some of the musicians who originally inspired him, including David Gray, Coldplay, and The Verve.

The result is an album with a vibrant, organic sound, grand choruses, and nostalgic storytelling. "Airplane Mode" simultaneously hits the emotional nerve that fans fell for on the debut "Back to Bedlam".
