George Ezra has released the final preview of his upcoming album Gold Rush Kid with a new single titled I Went Hunting.

The singer will be dropping his third studio album on Friday (10 June) via Columbia Records, which will be his first new record since Staying At Tamara’s in 2018.

Currently, fans have been treated with two other singles from the upcoming album including Anyone For You (Tiger Lily) and Green Green Grass. I Went Hunting will be the final preview before releasing the full album.

Listen to the new single below:

Earlier this year, George joined the Chris Evans Breakfast Show with Sky to talk all about Gold Rush Kid and the process of writing it.

Speaking to Chris, he said: “In the past, I’ve really overwhelmed myself with the idea of touring, promoting, stuff like that, I’ve let it scare me in the past.

“And then over the last two years - and I know we’ve all experienced what we’ve experienced - but I realised how much I love it, and that it’s not going to last forever, and I get to meet people, see things and do things I never thought I would, and so to treat it like a gold rush.” 

He added: “There’s two sides to the record. There’s an A and a B side to the record. And the A-side is the festivals and the lukewarm cider, and hands in the air, and that’s great. And the B-side is more reflective. 

“When I listen to the album, I hear myself back. And that’s it. It sounds like an honest representation of how I feel and where I am." 

The singer-songwriter will also be performing his biggest headline concert so far this summer with a slot at Finsbury Park in London on 17 July.
