Single Review: Blame It on Me by George Ezra


I’m sure you’ll agree that as an up and coming artist George Ezra is definitely set to be another favourite. He could run rings around the charts with his voice, unique as the likes of artists such as Sam Smith and John Newman, both of whom have consistently made the top 10 and obviously favourites in the public’s eye. Following on from the success of debut single, Budapest, George brings forward the insatiably catchy song, Blame It on Me. This tuneful track is beautifully euphonious; the combination of acoustic guitar, rubbing mixture of synth sounds, soft drum beats and naturally lyrical sounds like the clapping of hands, and the clicking of fingers come together to form a modern twist on folk music. Admirably, to be able to make a mainstream song from this stylised ‘genre’ is commendable. Despite what we love about this, the start as you may criticise, sounds like a retro TV show opening. Cheesy as that may sound, the moment George’s strong, and yet irresistibly rustic voice pushes its way through, that thought is instantly obliterated. In truth, everyone has their own thoughts on music which may cause you to pass this song off, however I’d say that even if acoustic/pop music isn’t your thing, this is definitely worth a listen to.
