Ezra recently released his third studio album Gold Rush Kid, the follow up to his 2018 sophomore album Staying At Tamara's. This latest album has quickly become his third consecutive number-one album in the UK. Featuring track like 'Green Green Grass', 'Anyone For You', and 'I Went Hunting', the album has been another massive success for this indie-pop artist.

Speaking about his single from the album, 'Green Green Grass', Ezra explained the meaning of the track. "I was on holiday in St Lucia with a few friends at Christmas 2018, with two of my closest mates from home," the musician explains. "We were in this beach bar, drinking homemade rum punch and Piton, the local lager, flip-flopping between the two, pissing about with three local guys who worked there. And this music started up, three streets back from the sea.

"After about half an hour, I had to go see what it was. And there was a street party going on, with three different sound systems, people cooking in the street.

"I asked a woman what was going on and she told me it was a funeral – for three people. They were celebrating three lives! I thought: that is not how we do this at home. And it's really beautiful."

Tickets for Ezra's added Irish shows are on sale Friday, July 22 at 10am.
