George Ezra showed great promise from the moment his first single ‘Budapest’ was released. With his unique voice and his almost acoustic sound George Ezra established himself as a new and exciting artist to look out for in the future. After the incredible success and good reviews he received for his debut album, with the release of his second studio album ‘Staying At Tamara’s’, George Ezra has proved that people were right to get excited.
‘Staying At Tamara’s’ brings a brand new set of tracks for listeners to enjoy. It is at its heart a feel-good album with an array of songs that seem full of optimism, sunshine and summer vibes. The album also includes some incredibly sweet and moving ballads so you will not get bored of listening to it. His distinct style can be felt throughout the album but the tone of the songs morphs and skip from upbeat to sentimental in a way that works to perfection.
There is a clear contrast between the album’s first single ‘Shotgun’ which has been blowing up the airwaves and the more introspective and emotional ‘Only A Human’. Every track has its own attitude and vibe and they all stand out for their beauty and musicality.
With ‘Wanted On Voyage’ George Ezra showed great promise. With ‘Staying At Tamara’s’ he has fulfilled that promise and surpassed it. It is a gem of an album!
