James Blunt is following his two Ivor Novello wins by putting aside time in his crowded diary this summer to focus on penning material for a second album.

The EMI Music Publishing songwriter last Thursday picked up the PRS most-performed award alongside Universal Musie's newly-signed Sacha Skarbek and Bucks' Amanda Ghost for You're Beautiful, which was also named international hit of the year.

Now his mind will turn to work on the follow-up to 2005's biggest album seller Back To Bedlam, with EMI Music managing director Guy Moot noting Blunt has already been writing new songs on the road but will step up the process this July after clearing space in his schedule.

"Following up such a big, successful album is a huge challenge because your success is judged by what you did last time, but we're hopefully nurturing a quality songwriter," says Moot. "He's going to write some great songs in the future."

The MD also saw EMI-signed Damon Albarn and James Hewlett named songwriters of the year for their Gorillaz work, a decade after Albarn and Blur shared the award with arch rivals Oasis which resulted in both bands controversially snubbing the ceremony.
