Ezra Phoenix is excited to announce the release of his new single High School on 24th August 2022. The new single will mark Ezra's 30th year around the sun, welcoming the start of a new journey! High School is Ezra’s love letter to young people who are feeling undervalued and mistreated by their peers. It is a message of inspiration to live life as authentically and as honestly as possible.
Produced by Tiny Triumph Recording’s Toby Lloyd, High School is Ezra Phoenix’s second single of 2022 following Storm which was released late February. The new single expands Ezra’s sound into the alternative/indie pop realm, featuring a more stripped back lead vocal line with a touch of classic Ezra Phoenix vocal harmonies.
High School explores the impacts of social pressure that we experience in our adolescence. Young people glorify the top of the social hierarchy, ostracising anyone who is associated with the lower end. With High School, Ezra reveals his own experiences and how they have shaped his perspective on relationships with other people.
“I asked myself, what was the point of it all? Why was it so important to be associated with popularity? I have done some amazing things in my life but I still have tough moments, and so do the popular kids. We all just want to be happy.” - Ezra Phoenix
Ezra Phoenix’s High School will be one of two more singles released this year.
