James Blunt at the Royal Albert Hall

Saving a Life, Same Mistakes, Monsters

Songwriter and entertainer James Blunt dazzled the Royal Albert Hall with a fun and nostalgic concert for the first of his two sold-out shows in the city. As one of the early stops on his world tour for new album Who We Used to Be , released in October last year, the London gig held both the charm of a magnificent venue and the buzz of songs that are, as in the words of the author himself, “pretty miserable” for the most part, but nonetheless have an infectious rhythm.

Despite his jokes, Blunt delivered a setlist not just dominated by his latest tracks but rather a generous outpouring of the oldies that have defined and renewed the artist’s success over time. He had merely walked halfway across the stage, and his hands were already inciting the first row to stand, and in the blink of an eye, all the arena were on their feet, dancing to the notes of Beside You . He then dove straight into the more melodic Saving a Life , its pensive words mirrored by the calming water projected on the big screen in the background. What came next was an almost two-hour showcase of Blunt’s skill as a performer, one who knows how to stoke the energy in the room – tear-jerking lyrics and emotive ballads with bursts of intensity alternated with moments of self-irony that lifted the atmosphere.

The choruses rising thunderously from the crowd made it clear that Wisemen was a more than welcome hit. All the Love That I Ever Needed started off enticingly, although by the halfway point lost its lustre, with guitar riffs that sound too familiar to thrill, a common issue with the recent material, even those with a dancey vibe like I Won’t Die With You . A touching homage to his friend Carrie Fisher was Dark Thought , permeated as it was with narrative details of the house they used to work in, followed straight after by Goodbye My Lover , which is said to have been recorded in the piano-equipped bathroom of the late actress.

Blunt’s dive into the crowd during a piano-led cover of Slade’s Coz I Luv You was an unmissable segment, and, as usual, the singer made the full round of the arena high-fiving the fans. You’re Beautiful was accompanied by slow-motion colourful flowers on the digital display, whereas for Same Mistake , the lights in the whole hall were turned off, smartphones raised above the heads becoming luminous beacons: it was clear it was a special song for both Blunt and the concertgoers.

The artist kept the audience glued to his every word until the very end, regardless of how late into a Tuesday evening in Kensington the gig stretched: eventually, 1973 arrived, echoed by fans with gusto, tugging at their heartstrings.

Warner Bros. Discovery will launch its streaming service  Max  in France on June 11 with distribution deals with Canal+ and Prime Video , ahead of the start of the Olympic Games on July 26.

The launch in France will follow Max’s rollout in 22 countries across the Nordics, Iberia, Central and Eastern Europe on May 21. Under the agreements, the standalone service will be available on all platforms, including on set-top boxes for Prime Video and Canal+ subscribers.

Popular on Variety

Under its deal with Prime Video, Max will have two different offers: Max Basic priced at €5.99 per month, and Max Standard, without advertising, priced at 9.99€ per month. The Sports-Add option, meanwhile, will be available for an extra €5. It will showcase major international and European sports, including tennis tournaments such as the Australian Open, Roland-Garros, The Championships, Wimbledon and the U.S. Open; cycling with the Giro d’Italia, La Vuelta a España and the Tour de France; in addition to the Tour de France Femmes, 24 Hours of Le Mans and every major winter sports World Championship and World Cup events.

Warner Bros. Discovery and Prime Video partnered last year to launch an offer called Warner Pass , which was available exclusively on  Amazon Prime Video  Channels in France and boasted all of HBO’s programs, along with 12 channels. While the Warner Pass will dissolve, its subscribers will now be able to access Max at no extra cost.

Besides the Olympics, Max’s European launches will also coincide with the premiere of Season 2 of HBO’s “House of the Dragon” on June 17.
