Multi-platinum-selling singer-songwriter Tom Odell has found beauty in embracing the uncomfortable with ‘Black Friday’, his revelatory sixth studio album. It takes guts to lay everything on the line and whilst he is no stranger to candid lyricism, with ‘Black Friday’, he takes it to the next level serving up his musings on the complexity of love and relationships.
Whilst there’s no denying the potent emotion that accompanies the 13 tracks (one of which is described as a voice note, but intriguingly cuts off mid flow), at times it feels a little bit too downbeat. ‘Black Friday’ is raw, sombre and haunting, but it is also profound and the themes of loss, anxiety, nostalgia and the fragility of connection will resonate with everyone on different levels.
With eclectic inspirations as far ranging from poet William Blake to Luca Guadagnino’s Call Me By Your Name, it’s admirable that Odell is digging deep both in an artistic and emotional sense.
The titular track which went viral on TikTok viral is one of the strongest tracks on the album and sets it the tone for Tom’s new artistic chapter. This sombre acoustic ballad is a raw and emotional masterpiece and sees Tom self-deprecating about himself “I wanna be perfect like all your other friends” as well as musing about the complexities of relationships and how we can second-guess relationships.
