Once hailed by the public as a new British pop hopeful, Tom Odell has long since distanced himself from the slick surface of mainstream pop. With ‘A Wonderful Life’, his seventh studio album, he has now created a work that is more than just music: an unsparing inventory of an artist who liberates himself through writing - and at the same time a silent embrace for a world in a state of permanent crisis.
The album was created over nine intensive months, on buses, trains, aeroplanes - wherever the 34-year-old found himself between tour dates and moments of solitude. ‘I worked on the lyrics every day, over and over again. It was like an obsession,’ says Odell. This obsession is reflected in the precision of his songs: sometimes whisperingly tender, sometimes painfully direct, often both at the same time. ‘A Wonderful Life’ is pervaded by a feeling of loss of control. The world news flickers like an apocalyptic endless loop in which hope and powerlessness alternate. Odell channels this restlessness in songs like ‘Don't Let Me Go’, which shakes things up with lines about social media dystopia and the emotional emptiness of the digital age: ‘You smile and look down at your phone / The city is filling with smoke’. In ‘Why Do I Always Want The Things I Can't Have’, he takes responsibility: not as an accuser, but as part of a system that he himself helps to shape.
Odell's voice - fragile, close, almost confidential - carries it all. Supported by a production that deliberately refuses to be perfectionist: recorded live, with the deliberate ‘bleed’ of the instruments that creates closeness instead of distance. This warmth makes the album an alternative to the coldness of world events.
The fact that Odell is a global star today, with over 14 billion streams and 31 million monthly listeners, only plays a marginal role in his art. He is concerned with something else: connection, the sharing of pain - and ultimately, he says, an attempt to ‘alleviate the loneliness of existence a little’.
