Rag 'N' Bone Man - Disfigured


Here he is again, our favourite gospel, soul and blues man of the moment. Brighton’s Rag ‘n’ Bone Man, one of our Ones to Watch for 2015 (here) returns with the transcendent Disfigured, the title track from his forthcoming EP, due for release on the 9th March via Best Laid Plans. This time Rory takes us on a musical journey that sounds as if he’s taking us to church (hi Hozier) via the wide open spaces. It ends with him launching us higher than he has ever before, even if lyrically things are a little darker: “There’s no kiss goodbye, only the end, only the night.”  Rag 'N' Bone Man makes the likes of George Ezra seem like little boys trying to get a hard on and failing. Just stunning.
