Today, BRIT Award-winning, multi-platinum selling musician George Ezra has announced his highly anticipated new album Gold Rush Kid. The 12-track LP is set to release June 10 via Columbia Records and is available to pre-order/pre-save HERE. Reflecting on the title of his third record, George says: “The Gold Rush Kid? That’s me.”
The Gold Rush Kid era begins today with the release of its euphoric first single and album opener “Anyone For You,” available to stream and download HERE. The song arrives alongside an official video that introduces the Gold Rush Kid to fans for the first time. Watch HERE.
In speaking about the lead single, George says: “‘Anyone For You’ is a patchwork of lyric ideas found in old notebooks and chance moments shared between musicians in the studio. It’s joyous and infectious, and I can’t help but smile every time I sing it.”
Going through those notebooks, one of the first scribblings that caught George’s eye was a verse he’d written when he was 23, before he’d even begun working on his second album: “Tiger Lily moved to the city, she’d just turned 21, and I said: here’s my number, hit me up, if you’re needing anyone, and then I can be anyone anyone anyone anyone anyone for you…”
It kicks off a sparkling song that speaks of support and encouragement and builds to a glorious singalong-with-George chorus: “Let me be your light!” Like the album as a whole, it’s as if Ezra has alchemized the darkness of the past two years into revivifying, invigorating light.
