I cannot listen to this song without that billy bear ham looking man from Lincoln wearing shoes too big for him. Which is a shame really because it’s a decent song

I am absolutely in love with this album. George Ezra is such an amazing song writer and singer - he is one of my favourite artists.

All songs that are featured on this album are extraordinary especially Manila.

Thank you George for all of your hard work x

… and better than ever! Incredible album from start to finish

George never disappoints, this is a great album, cheerful catchy tunes along with some beautiful songs in the second half, certainly his most personal to date.

😩🤌✨

‘Gold Rush Kid’, is Ezra’ first album post-pandemic since2018’s pre-pandemic Staying at Tamara’s, and a volume of work full ofbass, pop, R&B and strong vocal tones with an outward render of modern pop. Hisvoice sounds more bible-belt deep American south more than before, with aparticular effort to sound more like his debut album single track “Blame It onMe.”Album opener “Anyone For You (Tiger Lily)” is relaxed, cheerful,but gives off that quick escaping urgency that of a weekend getaway or abroadfeeling. Heavier brass production lifts this album out of the more mellow andsombre bass tones with focus on horn sections and more punchy guitar riffs anddrum arrangements give off a more festival feeling that doesn’t go unwelcomingconsidering current UK social and eco-political climates. Ezra aptly named “GreenGreen Grass” as an ode to poignant; peppered in a recurring vocal flow thatmakes an instant earworm for the summer. Elevated in the lyrics laughing atdeath with a hedonistic party: “Green, green grass, blue, blue sky. You betterthrow a party on the day that I die!” Titular track “Gold Rush Kid” keeps the energyflowing infusing more of an alternative/pop variation that doesn’t deviate fromthe album's cohesive sound. He changes some of the tones to more expansive choruseslike that in “Don’t Give Up” which is heavily R&B but with a unique ambiencethat sits comfortably in the back allowing Ezra’s voice to push through. “Dance All Over Me” swings back into dance-floor territoryeasily becoming a festival and club favourite in the coming months/years. Someof the best arrangements Ezra has worked on are associated on this album alongwith this track. Of course it’s not Ezra without a ballad – found on “SweetestHuman Being Alive” which feels like the love expressed to a partner that he isyet to find. And the acoustic, piano-ballad “In The Morning” uses repetition ofthe rhythms as well as a choir for a more optimistic outlook. “Manila,” a greatode to the beauty of the Philippines and soulful and blues/pop infused trackthat maintains a mid-tempo pace throughout. Thirdly released single and more stripped-downtrack “I Went Hunting” includes an orchestra and string section to make it feelmore unique to the rest of the album; with a pace reduction in track “Fell InLove At the End of the World” that doesn’t feel out of place with the rest. Thefinal track “The Sun Went Down” offers a post-festival palette cleanser thateven includes the sounds of birds to remember the last night fondly. This is a George Ezra album at his happiest with the message that it’s okay to remember the goodtimes after the storm covers all in sight.

Love George and this is fab !

Good

“Green Green Grass” and “Anyone For You” are the first two songs released and I just know I’m gonna love the rest of the album. Uplifting, cheery, amazing music.

Great song can’t wait to hear the rest of the album.

Really enjoy the upbeat first release of what I hope is an upbeat soundtrack to the summer of 2022.
