RIAZ AHMAD – EP REVIEW


Riaz Ahmad – All At Sea EP 
Riaz Ahmed - All At Sea EP

Release Date: Out Now

I’m delighted to bring you the new EP from talented Cambridge artist Riaz Ahmad because it is a) incredibly beautiful and b) it might just be what a few of you need right now. The ‘All At Sea’ EP starts with ‘Pray to God’ which is already one of my songs of the year given its recent single release and beautiful take on the issue of arrange marriage. ‘Blank Canvas’ is a more floaty, laid back number with some utterly gorgeous guitar and mandolin playing before Ahmad’s voice slides smoothly in to your ears and brings a smile to your face that is just all about beauty of the melodies and the wonderfully crafted song.

On ‘All At Sea’, Ahmad transports us to a beach side wine bar in the South of France with lazy guitar notes lolling and bobbing alongside heartbroken vocals and hopelessly romantic strings. Finally, ‘It’s Not A Crime’ bounces in to lift the spirits just when you need it and really seals the deal on Riaz Ahmad being one of the best singer-songwriters on the British scene at the moment and with that voice as well there really is no reason not to just let yourself fall in love with him and his music. Now. Go on, what are you waiting for?
