George Ezra covers Macy Gray’s ‘I Try’ in BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge

He tries to say goodbye and he chokes, tries to walk away and he stumbles - and though he tries to hide it, it’s clear, George Ezra’s cover of Macy Gray is here.

A smoothed-out, soulful rendition of the track aired earlier today during G-Ezra’s Live Lounge session for BBC Radio 1. Taking on a stone cold classic, George’s smoky tones aren’t quite as bone dry as Macy’s, but it’s an ace cover all the same.
