Third album from Tom Odell called Jubilee Road, which was announced on his social media. It's available for pre-order and it will be released on October 12.

 

 

Regarding the album, he said the following:

"I wrote this album in a house on a quiet terraced street in East London. The lyrics are inspired by the lives of the friends I made whilst living there. I recorded most the songs in the living room of the house and if I listen back closely, I can still hear the sound of the old man's television shows coming through the walls from next door, the kids from the house opposite playing football in the street below and the sound of my girlfriend's footsteps on the wooden floorboards above. I don't live there anymore, my life has changed somewhat, but I will always remember the time fondly and I hope you enjoy listening to the album as much as I did making it."

The title track was released as an instant grat on Friday.

 

Half As Good As You featuring Alice Merton is apparently out tomorrow

wait, this song was supposed to have birdy

 

is it alice merton in the end? boo :/

Yep Alice Merton is on the pre-order tracklist

dislikes :/

I've only recently heard Half As Good As You but wow, what an absolute stunner :wub: Easily better than If You Wanna Love Somebody for me, which got old quite quickly for me. Alice sounds brilliant on it too :wub:

 

A new version of "Half As Good As You" featuring Rae Morris will be released tomorrow.

Can’t believe the chart run/underperformance of this album so far - it’s for me his best album but seems to have not connected with radio or the general public at all :nocheer:

boh I totally understand it, I think it's a decent album but nothing amazing, there's a couple of good tracks (Half as Good, If you wanna love somebody) but those are 8/10 at most, there's no 10/10 in there, and the rest is pretty average

 

I think his debut was fantastic. Another Love is a classic, both lyrically and melodically it's an 11/10 song. And the album had a bunch of great songs too, so overall it was a very good album.

Album 2 was already a bit disappointing for me, but it had a couple of amazing songs, namely Magnetised and Constellations, both tracks a 10/10, Magnetised almost an 11/10, but the rest of the album was no good.

 

I wish his label paired him up with others to write songs, that would be the incentive to make him step up his game and make. better album next time

Go Tell Her Now video is coming tomorrow
