‘You, The World vs Me‘ is a heartbreak anthem that captures the highest of highs at the start of a relationship and the lowest of lows once the dust settles and feelings of emptiness and paranoia creep in. Despite two worlds colliding and the fallout that follows when it doesn’t work out, Odeal reflects on how the world keeps spinning and life keeps moving on. An air of mystique surrounds Odeal, but he is best known for his honest and vulnerable songs that offer an insight into his inner world, thoughts and feelings. This week, Odeal had an incredible headline show at Outernet (which sold out in under an hour), and he is still riding this high as he gifts ‘You, The World vs Me‘ to his fans. When speaking of the single Odeal explains
“You the world vs me is about being in such a euphoric state at the start of a relationship that when the dust settles it can make either party feel a sense of emptiness, however, irrespective of the turmoil between the two the world is not receptive to their emotions and life goes on.
The girl who was once Odeal’s peace in a world full of evil soon turns against him as her paranoia/insecurities come to light.”
Born in Germany, the 23-year-old musician was raised between Nigeria, Spain and the UK and has been immersed in diverse cultures his whole life. His varied upbringing has led to his fusion of Alte, R&B and Afro, fast-tracking him into becoming the voice to watch out for over the past few years. Along the way, Odeal has worked with artists such as Nines, Enny, K-Trap and Gabzy, to name a few, and has proven how valuable a verse from him can be. On his solo material, he has developed a fiercely individual sound and established himself as a formidable force, selling out three shows one after another with his Ovmbr brand at the forefront.
Notable career highlights include co-signs from BBC Radio 1’s Victoria Jane, BBC 1xtra and Represent, as well as NME, Complex, Notion and Guap to name a few. Odeal has had one of the year’s most popular COLORS performances, has racked up over 10 million plays on ‘Coffee (Don’t Read Signs)’ and placed 12 on the UK industry engagement list. Singing to the heavens and becoming the romantic hitmaker we’ve been searching for, Odeal is prepping his legacy with more music to come.
