Data Insight

All eleven tracks credit Blunt, with the Robson and Hector partnership from the previous album carrying over onto most of them. Bringing Tom Rothrock back is the audible change: the record sounds like Back to Bedlam again while the credit lines still look like Some Kind of Trouble. The writing team stayed even when the producer went back.

Moon Landing is James Blunt's fourth album, released in October 2013 on Atlantic. Tom Rothrock returned to produce, and "Bonfire Heart" gave Blunt his biggest single since "1973", reaching number four in the UK and number one in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
