You may not know upcoming 19-year-old singer-songwriter Ten Tonnes. Even when I tell you his real name, Ethan Barnett, that might not ring a bell. But what if I’d tell you he’s the younger brother of George Ezra? Would that make you more interested?

Shame on you! Ten Tonnes would be just as interesting an artist if he would have been my younger brother. Even the fact that his new single was produced by The Maccabees‘ Hugo White shouldn’t make a difference.

Just listen to the track, of which Barnett says: “It’s really just about looking back, in part about my ex-girlfriend, but more about that mood you can get into, when a flashback hits you suddenly, and you’re right back in that place.”
