I cannot find the words to say how excited I am to get back out on the road again on tour in 2024, Blunt said.

My new album was incredibly fun to write and record, and some of the new songs will undoubtedly get you up on your feet and dancing again. I'm looking forward to crowd surfing at a venue near you!

The album's first single arrived recently in the shape of the upbeat banger Beside You'.

Directed by Craig Bingham, the video evokes memories of Blunt's past.

Meeting versions of himself throughout his life, the video sees Blunt embrace the characters of his past self, as he moves forward.
