TOM Odell is on the road with his third album, Jubilee Road, newly released on Columbia Records, last Friday. Tomorrow he plays Leeds O2 Academy.

Although the record’s title may be fictional, Jubilee Road is 27-year-old Odell’s most honest and personal set of songs so far, as he intertwines real-life stories of the time he spent living in a house in East London.

Choosing to fictionalise the street to preserve his erstwhile neighbours’ privacy, he portrays the colourful community and the whisky- shaking gamblers in the local betting shop in Queen Of Diamonds and an almost unbearably bittersweet celebration in Wedding Day.

Odell has not only written, sung and vamped up his vibrant piano style on all 10 songs, but he also self-produced them. “I wrote this album in a house on a quiet terraced street in East London. The lyrics are inspired by the lives of the friends I made whilst living there,” he says.

“I recorded most the songs in the living room of the house and if I listen back closely, I can still hear the sound of the old man’s television shows coming through the walls from next door, the kids from the house opposite playing football in the street below and the sound of my girlfriend’s footsteps on the wooden floorboards above.

"I don’t live there any more, my life has changed somewhat, but I will always remember the time fondly and I hope you enjoy listening to the album as much as I did making it.”

Odell will be supported by Max Jury and The Lottery Winners; doors open at 7pm.
