Following a wildly successful stop at New York City’s Governor’s Ball Festival last month, Tom Odell returns with a brand-new track, ‘Flying :)),’ out now via mtheory. Inspired by a quote from legendary producer and music mogul, Rick Rubin, about the importance of applying rules to yourself. Tom decided to record with just a piano and his voice. The result is the work of minimalist beauty, comprising of just Tom’s voice, a piano, and the occasional creak of the stool he sits upon.
The song is accompanied by an animated music video, created by line-drawing artist and director Manshen Lo (Sally Rooney), with animation by Duncan Gist and produced by Nexus Studios who also created the official videos for recent tracks ‘Best Day Of My Life’ and ‘Sad Anymore’.
Tom recently wrapped his North American headlining tour, followed by a performance at Governors Ball Music Festival in New York City. The British award-winning songwriter is also confirmed to perform at Austin City Limits this October. For a list of all upcoming live dates, please visit https://tomodell.com.
