GLOBAL STAR TOM ODELL UNVEILS NEW TRACK AND VIDEO 'DON'T LET ME GO'

Single Release

30 Apr

Global star and award-winning singer-songwriter Tom Odell unveils a first taste of new music with 'Don't Let Me Go'. The track premieres alongside a music video.

The song channels the despair, frustration and helplessness felt in an emotionally challenging relationship. Odell states, “the sense, almost every week, that the world is ending in some capacity—which it is, for some people.”

In January 2025 Tom played two phenomenal sold out shows at the Sydney Opera House with the Metropolitan Orchestra from Sydney. 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, The Observer, among others.

Odell is currently on the road with Billie Eilish for select European arena dates of the sold-out Hit Me Hard and Soft Tour and will support The Lumineers for select U.S. arena dates of the Automatic World Tour. Starting on 12 May, he will play a very special run of intimate headline shows across the U.S., Canada and Europe on the Don’t Let Me Go Tour. The dates include stops at New York’s Webster Hall, London’s Battersea Arts Centre, Paris’ Bouffes du Nord, Amsterdam’s De Wester, Chicago’s The Vic Theatre and more. These unique shows precede major international tours coming this fall.

Tom 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.

Though Odell first came to prominence as a chart-topping artist, it’s never been mainstream success that fuels him. “I never applied to the role of pop star, and I always felt like I was being perceived in the wrong way,” he reflects. As he’s committed further to his own vision—crafting intensely personal songs dealing with mental health struggles, body image issues and beyond—he’s seen the connections spread across the globe. “It alleviates some of the loneliness of existing,” he suggests of why his music has resonated so strongly, “which is what we’re all going through, together.”

Odell has amassed a rabid following, with multiple headline world tours, 29 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 700 million combined streams since 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.
