TOM ODELL, WINNER OF THE 2013 BRITS CRITICS’ CHOICE AWARD, KICKS OFF NORTH AMERICAN TOUR TONIGHT IN CAMBRIDGE, MA
Tom Odell, winner of the BRITs Critics’ Choice Award, will launch a North American tour tonight at The Sinclair in Cambridge, MA. The nine-city run includes sold-out shows at New York City’s Bowery Ballroom (May 2) and the legendary Troubadour (May 7) in West Hollywood, CA. See below for itinerary.
Songs From Another Love, his debut EP, will be out tomorrow and Odell will make his U.S. television debut on “Late Show with David Letterman” on Wednesday, May 1. The EP is being released in the States by RCA Records / In The Name Of. See below for the exclusive U.S. track listing. In The Name Of (ITNO) is the label founded by Lily Rose Cooper.
London’s Sunday Times called “Another Love,” Odell’s first single, “genuinely chilling” and praised the “gothic atmospherics, febrile melodramatics and sense of imminent collapse” of “Can’t Pretend,” another track that appears on the EP. NME predicted: “you’ll be hooked by the arresting energy of his voice.” You can watch Odell’s video for“Another Love,” which already has more than three million views, at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwpMEbgC7DA
The 22-year-old artist is the first male ever to win the prestigious Critics’ Choice award. Past recipients include Adele, Florence and the Machine and Emeli Sandé. He was shortlisted in the BBC Sound Poll of 2013. Odell studied piano as a child and began writing his own songs at age 13. While he grew up in the West Sussex city of Chichester, his work is deeply influenced by American authors and filmmakers such as F. Scott Fitzgerald, Jack Kerouac, Woody Allen and Wes Anderson. Long Way Down, Odell’s full-length debut album, will be released in June.
