Hip Young Things

Award-winning singer and songwriter James Blunt made his debut appearance at the Dubai International Jazz Festival this week. The British singer is currently on a world tour and was delighted with the opportunity to perform in Dubai.

Blunt was one of the headliners for the Jazz Festival, which also featured John Legend as well as 250 other musicians and artists. While Blunt isn’t a jazz musician, he does see the jazz roots in his music and the festival prides itself on showcasing a variety of musical genres beyond jazz.

Although he has never visited Dubai, he does have friends who live there. He was impressed by the overall energy and architecture of the city. No doubt whatever luxury hotel Dubai he stayed in was swamped with paparazzie and fans after his performance. When he’s not touring to promote his latest album, “Lost Souls,” the singer resides on Ibiza.
