Tom Odell To Release Debut Album 'Long Way Down' On April 15th

British singer-songwriter and BRIT’s Critic Choice award-winner Tom Odell has announced that his debut solo album ‘Long Way Down’ will hit shelves on April 15th.
Odell has been the talk of the acoustic pop town recently, and will finally release his amazing debut album ‘Long Way Down’ on April 15th via ITNO / Columbia Records. His debut single ‘Hold Me’ will also be out soon, set for a released on April 1st.
The 22 year old from Chichester was recently presented with the prestigious BRITs Critics’ Choice Award, becoming the first male ever to win the award. Tom follows in the footsteps of past recipients including Adele (2008) and Florence and the Machine (2009) along with being longlisted by the BBC Sound Poll and shortlisted by MTV as part of their Brand New for 2013.
“I hope the album feels human and real and that there are some flaws – because the flaws help make it what it is,” Tom says of the record. “Really, I’d love to live in a time when music felt uncontrived and imperfect and gave people a real sense of elevation. When it’s sad I want it to be REALLY sad. When it’s happy I want it to feel euphoric…I suppose I want the record to express the heightened feelings and emotions we all get in our lives.”
