Rachel Stevens is hoping that James Blunt can help her to revive her solo career.The former S Club singer has asked for Blunt’s advice and inspiration on what direction she should take for her next album.

“Her recent material just hasn’t sold,” a source told The People. “In this climate, an artist needs to be consistently in the top ten to be financially viable.”A spokesperson for the star insisted, “Rachel is still very much a Polydor artist. There is nothing definite but she may even release another single from her album.”
