LIST PICK
EZRA WILLIAMS BLEED
Ezra Williams (formerly Smoothboi Ezra) has dropped a fantastic new single in ‘Bleed’. It’s an interesting musing on the difficulties of forming relationships on the Autistic spectrum, set over a restrained, yet powerful instrumental accompaniment. Their emotive, honest voice is the perfect vessel for their insightful lyrics. On their first track, ‘Thinking Of You’, Williams says: “I played it for my mum, and she wanted to know how to listen to it, and so I put it on SoundCloud. It kind of picked up from there, so I just kept releasing things.” Be sure to keep an eye out for Ezra Williams’ upcoming debut album, Supernumeraries. It drops on June 16th, 2023. -Dan Peeke
