James Blunt: The Afterlove Tour Live in Shanghai
Date: April 4 - 8 pm
Venue: Mercedes-Benz Arena
James Blunt will release his fifth studio album, The Afterlove on March 24 through Warner Music. The new album is the follow-up to the multiplatinum selling Moon Landing. James' new single Love Me Better is available to stream and download now. The single shows Blunt in a new light, thanks in part to Ryan Tedder's fresh and modern pop production, and the lyrics combine a heartfelt poignancy along with touches of Blunt's classic, self-deprecating humor. James worked with a wide range of talent when writing and recording The Afterlove including Ed Sheeran, Ryan Tedder, Amy Wadge (Ed Sheeran, Shannon Saunders), Johnny McDaid (Example, Biffy Clyro), Stephan Moccio (Miley Cyrus, The Weeknd) and MoZella (Miley Cyrus, One Direction). James Blunt will also be embarking on a world tour - The Afterlove Tour. This is the first tour for James following his extensive Moon Landing Tour, which saw him perform over 140 shows across the world over the course of twelve months.
Allan Harris
Date: March 24-25 - 7:30 pm
Venue: Blue Note Beijing
The outstanding and internationally renowned vocalist, guitarist and composer Allan Harris sums up his personal perspective on music in clear and straightforward terms. "There is nothing that I have found that defines and gives credence to my place in this wild and mysterious universe than this thing called music." Harris exemplifies that statement perfectly with his stunning new album Nobody's Gonna Love You Better, his eleventh album following on the heels of his highly acclaimed 2015 release Black Bar Jukebox. For this, Harris takes an even more eclectic approach, drawing upon the wide range of music that he heard growing up in Brooklyn, and feasting on the expansive palette of the Harlem cultural landscape. "My new album captures some of the varied sounds and feelings that have shaped my growth as an artist. I had not one style to heavily rely upon when putting these tunes together, but only my young memories of music, people and events."
