Our Take
Our Take
Tom Odell's latest offering, "Black Friday," is a rollercoaster of emotions that will leave you both exhilarated and confused. The album kicks off with the anthemic "Jubilee Road," a foot-stomping tune that showcases Odell's soaring vocals and heartfelt lyrics. However, this promising start is quickly overshadowed by the lackluster "Another Love," which falls flat with its repetitive chorus and predictable melodies.
Despite its missteps, "Black Friday" does have its moments of brilliance. Tracks like "Go Tell Her Now" and "Half As Good As You" showcase Odell's knack for crafting catchy pop hooks and heartfelt ballads. His piano-driven sound is reminiscent of a young Elton John, with a modern twist that keeps things fresh and interesting.
That being said, "Black Friday" ultimately suffers from a lack of cohesion and direction. Odell seems unsure of whether he wants to be a pop superstar or a sensitive singer-songwriter, resulting in an album that feels disjointed and scattered. While there are certainly some standout tracks, they are overshadowed by forgettable filler that leaves you scratching your head.
In conclusion, "Black Friday" is a mixed bag that showcases Tom Odell's talent and potential, but ultimately falls short of his previous work. Fans of his earlier albums may find something to enjoy here, but for those looking for a cohesive and exciting musical journey, you may want to look elsewhere.
