Data Insight

Five of the ten tracks are written by Blunt alone, the highest count of any album he has made, and he is credited on the other five as well. The co-writers he does use are one per song rather than a team: Mark Batson on "1973", Eg White on "I'll Take Everything", Max Martin on "Carry You Home". After this record he never writes a song by himself again.

All the Lost Souls is James Blunt's second album, released in September 2007 on Atlantic. Tom Rothrock produced it again and Blunt co-produced. "1973", written about the Ibiza club Pacha, was the lead single and reached number four in the UK. The album topped charts across Europe.
