Described as his “most personal and inspired collection” so far, Blunt’s fourth studio album was helmed by his Back To Bedlam collaborator, Tom Rothrock, who served as executive producer with further production handled by Martin Terefe (Jason Mraz, KT Tunstall). Released in 2013, Moon Landing shot up the charts, debuting at #1 in Switzerland and in the top five in Ireland and New Zealand. The long player hit #1 on iTunes in Switzerland and Australia and did great business across the globe.

And don’t forget about singles. The disc contains Blunt’s new international hit, “Bonfire Heart.”
