Ezra had plans to tour various countries in Europe from February 2023 up to July 2023. [37]

Musical style

Ezra cites Bob Dylan, Woody Guthrie and James Baylin as his main musical influences.[ citation needed ] The Financial Times described it as music that "approximates rock… but without any hint of danger, or unpredictability". [38] When the Gramophone Rings described him as having "a voice beyond his years", with "a soulful tone that somehow would feel more at home coming from an Alabama bartender than a 21-year-old Bristolian". [39] Zane Lowe, a former BBC Radio 1 DJ, called him "one of the most compelling and powerful new vocalists around". [40]

A youthful obsession with Dylan prompted Ezra to seek out earlier American folk and blues artists. "Out of curiosity, I went to find how high I can jump off a cliff", he said. "That's when I found Lead Belly, Woody Guthrie and Howlin' Wolf." Ezra had heard a Lead Belly compilation and had simply tried to sing like him. "On the back of the record, it said his voice was so big, you had to turn your record player down", Ezra said. "I liked the idea of singing with a big voice, so I tried it, and I could." [41]

Podcasts

On 12 February 2018, Ezra released the first episode of his podcast George Ezra & Friends, a show that typically ranges from 45 minutes to an hour and a half during which he talks to other artists. Ezra's inspiration for the podcast was listening to other podcasts featuring "comedians chatting with other comedians". [42]

Personal life

Some time after the release of his first album, Ezra met and later began dating Florrie Arnold; the relationship ended after three years. [43]

Ezra has stated he has Pure O, a form of obsessive compulsive disorder that consists of obsessions and anxiety with purely mental, not physical, compulsions. [44] During lockdown, he took up Transcendental Meditation (TM). He explained: "TM is a kind of meditation for me. It's just 20 minutes of eyes closed, and you repeat a word, a mantra. Oftentimes I don't get many times through the mantra, I just think about all sorts of nonsense, but it's 20 minutes of stopping, which is good." [45]
