Den bløde brite Tom Odell, der forførte mangen en ungpige med sine intime ballader på 2013-debuten "Long way down", har rejst sig fra klaveret og er trådt ud på dansegulvet. Der er kommet bas og bund, trommer og guitar på melodierne, mens lyrikken stadig er hudløs ærlig. Chris Martin og Coldplay er stadig en klar reference, men Billy Joel, jeff Buckley og Elton John skimtes også, hvilket givetvis vil udvide Odells endnu unge fanskare. Tom Odell gæster Danmark til november.

"a mostly strong collection of songs that highlight 25-year-old Odell eagerly digging into early influences: he grew up listening to the likes of Elton John, Billy Joel, Randy Newman, Jeff Buckley, and Bruce Springsteen, and it's fair to say that what's on offer here reflects rather than builds on similarities.Yet Odell adds a contemporary twist, and when it's good (Sparrow, Concrete, Constellations, Wrong Crowd) it's impressive; when it's bad (Magnetised, which borrows too clearly from Coldplay and Florence + the Machine), it's dismal".

"With Wrong Crowd, Odell achieves that lofty goal via a set of bold, beautiful, and downright pop-tastic calls for help from the eye of a storm of his own making, but unlike Long Way Down, there's a sunset at the end. Red skies at night, sailor's delight".
