By the Numbers
All ten tracks credit Blunt, and the co-writers include Steve Robson and Jimmy Hogarth, names that go back to All the Lost Souls sixteen years earlier. Twenty years into the catalogue the arrangement has not moved: he is on every song, and someone else is on it with him.
Who We Used to Be is James Blunt's seventh album, released in October 2023 on Atlantic. Dan Grech-Marguerat mixed most of it. It reached number five in the UK and arrived alongside his memoir Loosely Based on a Made-Up Story.
