    What a wonderful, insightful album! I listened to it when today and I have ‘I Went Hunting’ playing in repeat in my head. The track ‘Gold Rush Kid’ is quite the banger! Worth a listen or play it on repeat!

    More introspective and contemplative than his previous two multi-platinum albums, Gold Rush Kid finds Ezra becoming a man for all seasons.

    At the heart of Ezra’s mainstream pop appeal is a sense of joy that infuses his music with radiant positivity. In such troubled times, Ezra’s escapism is pure gold.

    Gold Rush Kid gets better the further it moves away from the standard blueprint, into emotional territory that, if it isn’t exactly dark (happily for him, Ezra seems to inhabit a world where every problem comes with a resolution) is certainly more overcast.
