Tom Odell announces second album Wrong Crowd, shares title track and tour dates
Tom Odell has detailed the release of his second album - the follow up to 2013's million selling debut.
Wrong Crowd will be released in June, and the title track can be heard below - along with a teaser of another upcoming album track “Constellations”.
"I wanted the songs to sound big and dramatic; big strings and melodies emphasizing the songs further – rich in musicality and holding nothing back," Tom states. "The album follows a narrative of a man held at ransom by his childhood, yearning for it, yearning for nature- a desire for innocence in this perverse world in which he now lives."
"It’s a fictional story but the emotions and feelings are obviously ones I have felt," he continues, "though the stories are elaborated and exaggerated. I wanted to create a world with a heightened sense of reality."
Tom Odell will build up to the release by performing a string of intimate dates through the next two months, including a headline performance at Islington Assembly Hall in London. Tickets for this show will be allocated via a ticket lottery.
Stream "Wrong Crowd" below, and find the album tracklisting beneath, alongside details of Tom Odell's upcoming tour dates.
