George Ezra - Staying at Tamara's

Three years after the release of his 4x platinum No. 1 album Wanted On Voyage, English singer/songwriter George Ezra returns with a collection of songs written, created and inspired by his travels: from a pig farm in Norfolk and a former cornflour shed in Kent to a converted cow shed in north Wales and an Airbnb in Barcelona owned by the Tamara of the album's title. The result is a finger snapping, brass-blaring, wind in the hair album that shines with positivity and encouragement, alongside moments of more subdued reflection. Lyrically and creatively, Britpop-esque opener "Pretty Shining People" sets the tone for the rest of the songs on an album that is winningly tuneful and powerfully uplifting in any language.
