Musing on themes that are as ethereal as the title title suggests-love, loneliness, and longing-Blunt offers richly accompanied melodic hooks, evocative lyrics, and disarming poignancy. EDITORS’ NOTES After a short hiatus, James Blunt returns with graceful energy on his fourth studio endeavor, Moon Landing. From the gradual cinematic crescendo of “Face the Sun” to the silvery acoustic guitars and thumping bass drum of “Bonfire Heart,” Blunt sounds wholly invigorated, achingly reflective, and more confident than ever. His skill as a ballad singer makes the mournful, string-adorned “Miss America” (an homage to Whitney Houston) an evocative highlight, but Moon Landing is largely an upbeat affair.
