September 5, 2025—Global star and award-winning singer-songwriter Tom Odell shares his highly anticipated new album A Wonderful Life today; listen HERE and watch the official music video HERE.
“With each song, I tried to create little universes, little worlds within those songs that one can keep discovering things,” says Odell. “I'm really proud of this album. In a lot of ways, I feel like it’s the album I've been trying to make for the last 12, 13 years. So, here we go. Here it is for you.”
In the lead up to the album’s release, Odell shared “Don’t Cry, Put Your Head On My Shoulder,” “Ugly,” and “Don’t Let Me Go.” Recently, Odell appeared on CBS Saturday Morning to perform “Don’t Let Me Go” alongside an interview with Anthony Mason.
Odell will perform the new music on his headline European arena tour this fall. Dates include stops at London’s O2 Arena, Paris’ Accor Arena, two nights at Amsterdam’s Ziggo Dome, Berlin’s Uber Arena and more. Odell just wrapped up select European arena dates with Billie Eilish on the sold-out Hit Me Hard and Soft Tour and select U.S. arena dates with The Lumineers for their Automatic World Tour. Ahead of his headline arena dates, Odell will also embark on a special run of intimate shows across the U.S. and Canada. These club performances provide fans a unique chance to see him in the smallest rooms he’s played in years. Purchase tickets at tomodell.com and see below for a complete list of dates.
A Wonderful Life was written partly as a reaction to the news cycle and “the sense, almost every week, that the world is ending in some capacity—which it is, for some people,” notes Odell, whose lyrics channel the despair, frustration and helplessness in the modern world.
He recorded A Wonderful Life at Church Studios, HOXA and RAK Studios’ legendary Room One, the space that birthed classic albums from Radiohead, The Pogues, Ultravox and more. Odell and his band recorded everything live with the instruments “bleeding in on one another” for a more authentic sound.
His emotionally charged songs detailing love, heartbreak and self-reflection continue to receive critical acclaim, winning the prestigious BRIT and Ivor Novello Awards and garnering praise from The GuardianThe TelegraphRolling StoneThe Evening Standard and The Observer, among others.
Odell is a renowned British singer and songwriter whose love for music can be traced back to grade school, pivoting from songwriter to singer in his band when they couldn’t hold down a frontman. After studying music in college, he embarked on a decade-long career in which his soul-baring projects have topped charts and won accolades worldwide. 
Odell has amassed a rabid following, with multiple headline world tours, 32 million monthly listeners on Spotify and over 14 billion career streams. His sixth album Black Friday reached number five on Spotify’s Top Album Debut Global Chart and the haunting title track has earned over 700 million combined streams since its late-2023 release. Fans also re-discovered his first ever single, 2012’s “Another Love,” which has become an anthem on TikTok to show solidarity with the people of Ukraine and soared to over four billion plays on Spotify alone. With more imminent from Odell, he continues to push boundaries and unite people through his art.
