I'm finally the proud owner of the new Tom Odell album 'Wrong Crowd'. I bought it last week as a reward for finishing and submitting my first essay for the semester and it's a lovely album. I absolutely love his 'Long way down' album, which I mentioned in a post last year when I wrote about 'Another Love' which is my favourite song of his.
His new album has incorporated new sounds while still retaining that classic Tom Odell style which I adore and admire. His lyrics and music touches your emotions and evokes wonderful imagery, and that is not lost in his 'Wrong Crowd'. It's going to be another short post this week, but the song that I've eventually decided to focus on today is 'Silhouette' because whenever I listen to it, I hear an essence of David Bowie in the chorus which is really lovely to hear because it gives me the delusional moment when I can pretend that Bowie is still alive and creating brilliant music. I don't think Tom Odell intended for this, but in my head, it's like a tribute to Bowie and makes this song one of my favourites in the album. But all the songs are exquisitely constructed, like 'Constellations' for example. But back to 'Silhouette', everything about it is wonderful:

"Is there anyone there?" I say to the dark
But all I get back is a beating heart
Going out of rhythm and I realize
Oh, something's changed
