Global star and award-winning singer-songwriter Tom Odellunveils a deluxe version of his critically acclaimed album A Wonderful Life (Epilogue); listen HERE.

A Wonderful Life (Epilogue) features two new tracks, “When I Close My Eyes” and “It’s The Morning After Last Night’s Rain.” “When I Close My Eyes” has already become a fan-favourite, with over 50,000 creates on TikTok and 80 million views across platforms. The song explores the process of grief when losing a loved one, finding peace and comfort in the process.

Odell released A Wonderful Life last month to instant recognition from NPR All Songs Considered. He recently appeared on CBS Saturday Morning to perform “Don’t Let Me Go” alongside an interview with Anthony Mason and also visited ABC News Live Prime with Linsey Davis to discuss the process of making the project. The album 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 Guardian, The Telegraph, Rolling Stone, The 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 Fridayreached 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.
