Bristolian folk singer George Ezra, who finished fifth in this year's BBC Sound of 2014 poll, prepares for the release of his first EP of the new year by making the title track available early to anyone who pre-orders it on iTunes now. The full EP isn't due out till March 16th, but for those not already familiar with Ezra's sound I suggest you have a listen to his earlier Did You Hear The Rain EP, his voice, in my opinon, being easily one of the most unique in UK music today.
