Tom Odell already is onto his second album but we’re just getting to know him! The 25-year-old English Singer/Songwriter gained popularity with his 2013 track Another Love and new single Magnetised. His second album Wrong Crowd, was released just last week domestically and he currently is in town promoting the Disc ahead of his upcoming tour which hits Toronto’s Mod Club this Fall.
Odell already is a huge name in the UK having been christened with the foreboding Critics’ Choice Award at the BRITs in 2013. He also was named Songwriter of the Year at the Ivor Novello Awards. The same was given to the likes of Adele, Florence and the Machine and Emeli SandĂ©.
