Tom Odell is just a few days away from launching his brand new album, A Wonderful Life, which will come out on September 5, 2025. He has always focused on being honest in his music, and this album feels like the result of that journey. It’s his seventh studio album and it brings back the raw storytelling that first made him famous worldwide.
The album was written over nine months while he was traveling, and the songs feel like they come from real life.
Tracks like “Don’t Let Me Go” and “Don’t Cry, Put Your Head On My Shoulder” show his most personal side, exploring feelings of sadness and strength. “Ugly” is a strong song about not being perfect and learning to accept yourself. His voice sounds both delicate and strong as he talks about these feelings.
The ten songs on A Wonderful Life deal with topics like missing someone, being open about emotions, and the quiet hope that often comes from hardship.The title song brings all these ideas together, leaving a lasting feeling of mixed emotions. Compared to his earlier work, this album feels more focused and calm. It’s like Tom Odell is talking directly to you, with just his piano and lyrics to carry the deep feelings.
To mark the release, Tom Odell will go on a big tour in the UK and Europe, starting on October 21 in Cardiff and ending on December 4 in Antwerp.
The tour will include major concert halls in cities like London, Paris, and Berlin, making it one of his biggest ever. It’s a sign of his confidence and thanks, bringing songs he made alone to big crowds.
With A Wonderful Life, Tom Odell shows why his voice still touches people.The album is personal, thoughtful, and has a kind of clear understanding that feels both up-to-date and classic.
