On this review I will be reviewing the new album from George Ezra released on the 23rd March this year. It's the second studio album from 'George Ezra' called "Staying At Tamara's".
George Ezra is an English singer, songwriter from Hertfordshire. Who I have been a fan since he released his debut successful single "Budapest" from his first album "Wanted On Voyage". The track "Budapest" dominated the charts in the UK, France, Portugal, Spain, Italy and many more. It became 3X Platinum track sales for the track "Budapest". Some would say that "Budapest" was an annoying repetitive track being played on the radio. I quite liked the track it made me want to discover more about 'George'. In which I am glad I did. George's influences are Bob Dylan, Woody Guthrie. Discussing more about George he performed his first Glastonbury in 2013 in the BBC Introducing stage for new artists. In 2013 he released his debut EP "Did You Hear The Rain" which includes the track "Budapest" on the EP which is also featured on his debut album "Wanted On Voyage". He has been a supported acts on tours with 'Bastille', 'Lianne La Havas', 'Sam Smith', and 'Tom Odell'. Discussing about his discography he has released two albums. His debut album "Wanted On Voyage" which I thought was an amazing debut album. An amazing Folk Rock, Americana, blues album. It has fantastic tracks such as "Blame It On Me", "Budapest", "Cassy O", "Barcelona", "Listen To The Man", "Over The Creek" and many more. It's a fantastic debut album which I enjoyed a lot. Now comes to his second studio album "Staying At Tamara's" What did I think of it? I thought it was a decent album even though I prefer his debut album "Wanted On Voyage". It was great seeing him back with a new album since it has been 4 years.
My favourite tracks on the album starting with "Don't Matter Now" interesting production great folk vocals on this track. "Shotgun" this track was number on the official chart which I thought was a listenable track with great vocals and great guitar riffs. "Paradise" it's a fun and an enjoyable track to listen to that done well in the charts. "All My Love" probably the underrated track on the album it's a calmful track. "Hold My Girl" a smooth folk track which is a folk ballad. It's a fantastic track which I think is also underrated. My least favourite track was "Pretty Shining People" I feel like it was not the best opener to the album but it still an okay track.
Overall I thought this album was okay it's decent. I prefer his debut album. I would listen to it again. I am giving this album a 6/10.
