James Blunt can’t help but remember why he rose to prominence in music around the world. Despite being labeled a “one-hit wonder,” the 51-year-old British singer has built a distinct and long-lasting career for himself.
“In the United States, I am a one-hit wonder. But you have to understand: I’m fine with that, because, as I said on my social media, one hit is enough,” he said in an interview with People magazine, referring to one of his best-known hits, “You’re Beautiful.” And he went on, “I’ve been called a ‘one-hit wonder’ by people who haven’t had any. So that makes me very happy.
In line with this, the singer expressed great pride in his songwriting. “I love that song.” I’m so glad I wrote it,” he said. He also stated that as a result of its success, he now leads a stable life. “I now live in a lovely home as a result of it. You and I are having this conversation because of it. For me, it’s the song that will forever define me. “I’ll never be able to top it,” he admitted.
