ODEAL UNVEILS HIS EMOTIONAL 9-TRACK EP "THOUGHT I NEVER SAID" SHOWCASING HIS MULTIFACETED MUSICALITY

The rising star's newest project explores love, lust, and heartbreak, solidifying his position as a versatile force

Singer, songwriter, and producer Odeal delivers a powerful musical journey with his latest 9-track EP, 'Thoughts I Never Said,' as he explores the nuances of love, lust, and heartbreak, solidifying Odeal's position as a versatile force.

The EP opens with "Landminds," an emotional introduction packed with strings and symphonies, where Odeal expresses the unmatched feelings he harbours for a particular person, setting the tone for the emotional journey that follows.

Smoothly followed by "On The Ground," Odeal captures a relationship brimming with chemistry and lust where one pleads for his love interest to let her guard down, creating an intimate and evocative atmosphere. Continuing the exploration of intimate moments, Odeal paints a vivid picture with "Bedroom Weather," as lyrics like "I've got an XL sweater, it fits you perfectly for bedroom weather" capture the warmth and closeness of a romantic connection.

A turning point in the EP, "Rigour Mortis," sees a shift from love to pain and anger as Odeal delivers an emotive breakdown and breakthrough, exploring the complexities of emotions in a relationship. Closing the project, "Gave You My All" zooms out to view the relationship as a whole, from moments of love to the challenges of facing public scrutiny encapsulating the journey from love to loss.

With production credits from Edbl, Charlie Pitts, Kent, Fred Cox, and Emil, 'Thoughts I Never Said' represents a culmination of his experiences and influences, creating a sonic landscape that reflects his diverse musicality.
