British singer James Blunt, known as “The Captain's Poet”, is coming to China with his tour “who we used to be”. His music is a mix of pop, rock and folk, and his live performances are equally acclaimed.

In 2023, his new album “Who We Used To Be” was released, which contains the songs “Saving A Life
”, “Some Kind Of Beautiful”, “Beside You”, “Last Dance” and “All The Love That l Ever Needed”.

His debut album Back to Bedlam was a worldwide success. Among them, “You're Beautiful” topped the music charts in many countries. “You're Beautiful”, which exploded onto the global scene in 2004, topped the UK Singles Chart for several weeks and topped the Billboard charts, earning five nominations for the 49th Grammy Awards. Other hits include “Goodbye My Lover” and “Wisemen,” all of which showcase his signature lyrical style and deep insight into emotion.

In the river of time, each of us is constantly moving forward, and sometimes we get lost in the hustle and bustle of life, forgetting what it was like to set out in the first place. But in this noisy world, there is a voice that always calls out to us, that is the “former you” deep inside our hearts, reminding us to not forget our original hearts and find ourselves.
After a long absence, his voice is still gentle and firm when he returns, and the melody is full of youthful restlessness and the light of dreams. When the familiar melody plays again, it awakens the truest self in us. Let us continue to sing familiar songs, no matter where we go, we will never forget, once we were so beautiful. Let's follow the footsteps of “Captain Poet” and find the old us.
