3in1! Pretty Shining People/ Hold My Girl/ Saviour- George Ezra Reviews
As you probably know, a lot is resting on this new album. The first album he put out was a true breakout, with two UK top ten hits and a hit in pretty much everywhere with a chart to track it. The mediocre Don't Matter Know kicked off the single parade for this album last year, but didn't really make a dent anywhere. Paradise, an excellent pop anthem, George Ezra style, looked like it would do the same, but suddenly picked up steam and jumped to the top 20 in the UK in the past couple weeks. And now we have these three songs, all coming within two weeks of each other, so I decided to review them together. Pretty Shining People is the kind of narrative song that has fallen out of fashion. It starts off slowly and still pretty catchy. The chorus is much faster and more anthemic, and brings in some drums. I think the basic acoustic guitar that ties it together is pretty good, and the extra little drum and keyboard bits work well with some electric guitar to strengthen the song
