TOM ODELL ANNOUNCES NEW ALBUM, A WONDERFUL LIFE

RELEASED 5^TH SEPTEMBER 2025

NEW SINGLE, ‘DON’T CRY, PUT YOUR HEAD ON MY SHOULDER’ – LISTEN NOW

+ ANNOUNCES 27-DATE UK/EUROPEAN ARENA TOUR INCLUDING

LONDON’S O2 ARENA IN OCTOBER 

    Tom Odell is pleased to announce details of his new album, A Wonderful Life.

The new record is released on the 5^th September 2025 via UROK/Virgin. It was recorded in London and features 10 tracks including the recent introductory track and album opener, ‘Don’t Let Me Go’.

Pre-order/pre-save the album here

On this his seventh studio album, Tom Odell has created a record that embodies a universal spirit of empathetic, total honesty; one that looks out at the broken landscape of modern, fractured society and finds dystopia and doom, but also - integrally - glimmers of beauty and hope. 

To coincide with the album’s announcement, Tom shares a new single, ‘Don’t Cry, Put Your Head On My Shoulder’. A cinematic lullaby, the guitar-led track soon arrows skyward evoking all the anthemic qualities to suggest that Tom and his audience will be bathed in the glare of phone torches and lighter flames when it becomes a certain staple of his live set.

The song itself tells the story of a friend mired in strife and the difficulties of learning how best to help them. It’s another telling example of Tom Odell’s songwriting prowess, and a very welcome return for this ever-popular British singer-songwriter. Listen HERE

The songs on A Wonderful Life, seek understanding within a human existence that is, at its core, messy and convoluted and never just one thing. “I wish I could wrap it up into a nice little bow of what the mood and the message is, but these songs are the antithesis of that,” he says. “To live, and to write honestly about it, is such a profoundly important part of my life now. And I feel like if I have any duty whatsoever, it’s just to continue to do that.”

Tom has recently been out across Europe’s arenas in support of Billie Eilish, and will returns to many of the same venues to headline them later this year as part of a huge 27-date arena run across the UK and Europe. The run includes a night at the O2 Arena in London on 29^th October. 

 Fans can pre-order the forthcoming album from Tom’s webstore before 5pm BST Tuesday 27^th May for first access to UK/European arena tickets. The ticket pre-sale window then opens at 10am BST on Wednesday 28^thMay, before tickets go on general sale from 10am BST on Friday 30^th May.

This weekend, Tom plays Radio 1’s Big Weekend 2025 in Sefton Park, Liverpool. The Billie Eilish tour continues across Europe throughout the rest of the month. Tom’s intimate headline tour arrives in Europe and the UK this Summer including a tiny show at Battersea Arts Centre in July that sold out in seconds. Those intimate headline dates continue out to North America in September.

Tom plays the Woodsies stage at Glastonbury this year. Further touring news is to be shared imminently.

Meanwhile over on TikTok, Tom’s 2012 breakthrough hit ‘Another Love’ has spent the last two years going quietly stratospheric, entering the top 50 on the Billboard TikTok chart, and soundtracking millions of TikTok videos, most commonly in support of Ukraine as a sign of hope, and by Iranian women to soundtrack protest videos in response to the death of Mahsa Amini whilst in the custody of the ‘morality police’. The song, originally written by a young Tom making his very first moves in this enduring musical career, has since accumulated over 3 billion streams on Spotify, becoming one of the top 25 most streamed songs of all time on the platform.

But these big streaming numbers and the accumulation of industry awards (BRITs and Ivor Novellos) only paint part of the story of this talented musician who manages to shoot his music directly to hearts right across the globe that instantly relate to millions. It’s one reason why artists both young (The Last Dinner Party, Billie Eilish, AURORA) and old (Cat Stevens, Elton John) have expressed their love and support for what he does.

A Wonderful Life feels like an important body of work by a musician right at the top of his game, and quietly becoming more popular by the day.

 About A Wonderful Life: 

Tom Odell has been stripping back the layers, creating a prolific and increasingly vulnerable canon of work that speaks to the frailties of the human condition and the fragility of the world around us. Particularly since the pandemic and 2021’s Monsters, Odell’s songwriting has put rawness and honesty to the fore, with a whole new generation of fans finding vital solace in his music in response. Seventh album ‘Black Friday’’s haunting title track has earned nearly 700 million combined streams since its late-2023 release, while a resurgence of excitement around his first ever single - 2012’s ‘Another Love’ - has seen it soar to over three billion plays on Spotify alone.

As Odell has become braver as a writer, pushing himself to uncover the most fragile and often painful parts of his psyche, so has he established himself as a true artist of note: a fact underlined by a pair of Ivor Novello nominations for Best Song Musically and Lyrically, in both 2023 and 2024. For the now-34-year-old, it’s been an illumina
