Data Insight

Blunt is on all twelve tracks and alone on none of them, the first album where that is true. Steve Robson is credited on eight, Wayne Hector on four, and "Stay the Night" carries Ryan Tedder and Bob Marley, the latter for the sample it builds on. This is where his catalogue stops being a singer-songwriter's and starts being a professional pop writing operation with him at the centre of it.

Some Kind of Trouble is James Blunt's third album, released in November 2010 on Atlantic. It moved him toward a bigger, brighter pop rock sound with Steve Robson, Ryan Tedder and Greg Kurstin producing. "Stay the Night" was the lead single and reached number 26 in the UK.
