Tom Odell has shared details of his fourth studio album.
'Monsters' will arrive on June 25 via Columbia Records and feature the previously released Numb along with the newly posted single Monster v.1.
The track — which is the first of two versions — was penned by Odell while recovering from his own mental health issues. It finds the singer-songwriter sharing starkly personal lyrics over a piano melody and comes paired with a self-filmed video shot at home.
"In 2019, my anxiety got so bad that I had to stop making music for a while," Odell said of the song. "There was a period when it felt like I couldn’t leave the house without having a panic attack. I wrote this song, monster, about trying to overcome my struggles with those mental health problems. It makes me super sad to listen at moments because it brings back some tough times, but I am super proud of it and hope it resonates with people who are dealing with similar struggles. This first version is the song in its purest form, which I wanted you all to hear first, as the lyrics mean so much to me."
Odell will perform a sold-out livestream show on April 10, during which he'll perform music from the upcoming record.
