George Ezra is the Bristol singer-songwriter with the startlingly deep, weathered voice, the kind of booming baritone that makes a young man in his twenties sound like an old bluesman leaning on a porch rail. After two EPs, Did You Hear the Rain? in 2013 and Cassy O' in 2014, he broke through with "Budapest", a strummy, stomping folk-pop tune that hit number one in several countries.
His debut album, Wanted on Voyage, arrived on Columbia in June 2014 and shot to number one in the UK, finishing as the country's third-best-selling album of the year. It's warm, unfussy stuff, folk and blues simply dressed and built around that voice, with "Blame It On Me" swaying along in the same easygoing groove.
Staying at Tamara's topped the UK chart again in 2018, giving him his first British number-one single with the sunny "Shotgun", and he took home the Brit Award for British Male Solo Artist the following year. Gold Rush Kid, in 2022, made it three UK number-one albums in a row.
