On his debut full-length album, Ethan Barnett (better known as Ten Tonnes and younger brother of George Ezra) makes a punchy statement and name for himself in his own right. Having previously toured with his big bro, Tom Grennan and Rat Boy, Ten Tonnes has discovered the perfect formula to impressing crowds, and has bottled it up on his self-titled debut release, which is a hedonistic mix of toe-tapping, bliss-filled indie pop tunes. 

Festival anthem-in-waiting, 'Lucy' opens the 12-track album, whilst 'G.I.V.E' oozes the kind of easy on the ears sound that's instantly satisfying and also appears to be in a similar vein to The Magic Gang's track 'Jasmine'. Elsewhere, 'Cracks Between' is littered with infectious guitar hooks and confessional lyrics like: "you could be so good for me, you could be just what I need" - it's an uplifting banger that is always a live favourite too.

The searingly thrilling track, 'Better Than Me' brims with bouncy beats and sun-kissed guitars as Barnett's upbeat vocals snake throughout. 'Nights In, Nights Out' is a more seductive, come-hither number with a bristling bassline and powerhouse vocals that will make you sit up and take notice - if you hadn't been already, that is.

Breezy, youthful charm is on full display on 'Silver Heat', a propulsive stormer that will burrow deep into your brain. Barnett is bright and full of ambition, and this track exudes the kind of sheer energy that will attract hordes of fans. 'Wake Up' is a confident, riff-roaring ear worm that adds to the overall appeal, whilst 'Lay It On Me' finds Barnett on pure and winning indie-pop terrain.

Barnett delivers on a truckload of promise and hype on his self-titled debut album as Ten Tonnes. Soaring high and making a remarkable impact, it's enough to prove that the young singer is standing in no-one's shadow and has what it takes to go far.
