George Ezra - Wanted On Voyage

Travelling suits 21-year-old George Ezra, as the majority of his debut album was written while he was backpacking across Europe. This is displayed through such songs as “Barcelona” and “Blind Man in Amsterdam”. Ezra conveys powerful and complex emotional ideas through his simple and real songs, which have a transcendent nature.

His music encapsulates a wide spectrum, from the youthful upbeat tunes of “Cassy O’” and “Blame it On Me”, the latter of which calls for one to seize the day, asking “what you waiting for” with the fear and pressure of passing time, to the protective slow embrace of “Coat of Armour” and the darker haunting sound of “Did You Hear the Rain?”.

Produced by Cameron Blackwood. The album has effectively updated old techniques yet kept the integrity of its spirit, which contributes to make the youthful Ezra’s music feel eternal.
