Odette’s third album ‘Blink’ is set for release on November 6 and today, she shares the final preview of the project with new single ‘Don’t’. LISTEN + WATCH HERE + PRE-SAVE THE ALBUM HERE.
With perspective and self assessment at the heart of her songwriting, for Odette, ‘Don’t’ is another production that transmutes her immense overwhelm into something sonically healing. Like the nature of the relationship being sung about, the track shifts through crescendoing strings, keys and percussion, all matched with confessional lyricism that lives in the enduring hope that is felt across her upcoming record.
Says Odette, “Don’t is for someone who used to be very close to my heart. I’ve been hesitant to write a song for them because I still feel very ashamed about that time in my life. I was a very volatile, scared and controlling person for many years in this friendship. I didn’t want anyone to leave me alone with how I was feeling, and I was also experiencing intermittent psychosis and delusions, and because of that, I became someone who caused a lot of harm to people I deeply love and care about.
This song is trying to put some semblance of hope into the universe that the paths we’ve taken will one day intersect again.”
Watch: ‘Don’t’ (Official Music Video)
A love letter to enduring hope, Odette’s forthcoming album ‘Blink’ is a cosmopolitan confessional. Drip-fed through previous tracks ‘AAAH!‘ and ‘Watch Me Go‘, Odette is never afraid to hold the mirror against herself, each lyric of prose and meter is layered in decaying texture. Part baroque pop, part jazz-rnb hybrid, ‘Blink’ is at times sparse, psychedelic (in approach not sound) at others and always witty. She calls it “a beautifully mangled living thing”.
A candid recount of the human experience, ‘Blink’ uncovers what it means to become aware of the world around you; entering young adulthood whilst you try to overcome your own battles. Love, heartbreak, endurance, self-realisation and the terrible places you go and have to fight your way out of in pursuit of where you truly belong.
