‘BARTENDER’ IS TAKEN FROM JAMES’ FORTHCOMING ALBUM ‘THE AFTERLOVE’ – RELEASED THROUGH ATLANTIC RECORDS ON MARCH 24^TH

James Blunt has released his brand new single ‘Bartender’, which is taken from his forthcoming album ‘The Afterlove’, out on March 24^th. The anthemic and hugely captivating new single is available to download now for fans who pre-order James’ new album.

Shot in a New York bar, the video features James taking on the role of bartender, a role he seemed to fall into easily – possibly due to the many hours he has spent doing research in bars around the world, including the one in his own private nightclub.
