Sample lines from Moon Landing include the bland 'It’s hard to find the one/ But in time all flowers turn to face the sun” and the meaningless “Your mouth is a revolver firing bullets in the sky”. Blunt may have an unusual, thin, helium voice but lyrically he is about as convincing as that pet dog who was recently substituted for a lion in a Chinese zoo. Music aficionados will generally tolerate all manner of stylistic peculiarity if they feel they are receiving a real slice of someone's soul. On this count, Moon Landing is little different from anything that has come before.
But, in reality, those who knock JB's music are probably less concerned with his Harrow education than his inability to convey any interesting emotions.
Blunt's mother once opined that some people are simply jealous of her son's posh background.
And is Moon Landing going to change their minds?
