Summer, sun, good mood - with George

With newcomers that's always a bit tricky: hyped, and pushed up more quickly disappeared from the scene as you could say "superkalifragilistischexpialigetisch"; in some cases, the dive must be acknowledged with a "pity", often one thinks for a few years but rather "Man, what happened to the real? The times but had a very nice song, what was his name only?"

George Ezra embarks with his twenty years now in the cave of the lion music and has released "Wanted On Voyage" his first album. It is an album that celebrates itself, that comes along without frills and without much fanfare: and thus is more convincing. George Ezra does not need pimped booklet photos; it satisfies a red shirt, a nice smile and a wise message to draw attention to themselves. To the extent any case the external viewing. Already with "Budapest" He has proven that he write catchy pop music (!) And can sing. His distinctive, deep voice wummst in the hearts of his hearers. When the then still a high-pitched, but tonsicheres "Uuuuuhh" followed, one is completely under his spell.

In his songs the Englishman told with much poetry little stories, without seldom stupid rhymes á la "rhyme you or I'll eat 'you!" need to use. Musically, he alternates between shallow pop ("Budapest"), hypnotic 70s rhythms ("Spectacular Rival") or heartrending blues ("Did You Hear The Rain?"). The latter in particular has me goosebumps par excellence causes: the 1 1/2-minute sterile, focused only on Ezra's voice intro with the incipient then skirt part is great. But the other songs are fun. It's an album with a good mood for good humor. Who it goes bad, or who would like to be cheered or who is already happy and another boost want to virtually limitless happiness, accesses "Wanted on Voyage".
