A love letter to enduring hope, Odette’s forthcoming album 'Blink' is a cosmopolitan confessional. 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. The timelessness of Yebba, brutally honest lyricism of Lola Young and cult soundscape of the film Amelie lie at the apex of Odette’s music, turning private reckonings into something communal, piercing and transcending. Anchored by piano-led balladry and her unmistakable spoken-word cadence, she straddles tenderness with bite. Odette’s songwriting approach is strengthened by her unique sense of curiosity and openness, expressing vulnerability with unapologetic self-assurance. Made all the more exceptional with Platinum and Gold Certified singles and ARIA Award nominations to her name.
