Odeal - For A Good Time… (EP)
British Nigerian star Odealcontinues his remarkable rise with the release of his new seven track project, For A Good Time…, a vibrant collection that sees the Afro-R&B innovator embracing a lighter, more carefree side of his artistry. Featuring Jorja Smith on the standout single Coming Home, the project swaps introspection for sun soaked grooves, celebrating connection, spontaneity and living in the moment.
Recorded across Medellín, Los Angeles and London, For A Good Time… broadens Odeal's already distinctive sound while staying rooted in the soulful songwriting that has made him one of the UK's most exciting contemporary artists. Tracks like Rush, Get Down and the house influenced Bluey Vuitton bring infectious energy, while Coming Home provides the emotional heart of the record. The closing run of After The Club, Love And Hate and Trying Things shifts back towards vulnerability, exploring love, trust and the uncertainty that comes with both.
The release follows a huge year for Odeal, who has sold out London's O2 Academy Brixton, toured across the UK, Europe and Australia, appeared on Later… with Jools Holland and NPR's Tiny Desk, and joined Stormzy on 24 Hours. With two MOBO Awards, a BET Award nomination and more than 5.5 million monthly Spotify listeners, Odeal has firmly established himself as one of the leading voices in modern Afro-R&B.
This summer he'll support Summer Walker at London's The O2 before appearing at All Points East and joining Kehlani's UK and European tour, with For A Good Time… marking another confident step forward in an already impressive career.
