Editor’s Note: Ok look, we’ll be perfect honest with you, dear reader. We first came across the songwriting wonder of Tom Odell when the English singer-songwriter appeared on the Fault In Our Stars soundtrack back in 2014, his song “Long Way Down” slotted right before Charli XCX’s monster bop “Boom Clap.” But since then, Odell has evolved and grown as a songwriting force, culminating in last year’s release of his third album, October’s Jubilee Road. Coincidentally enough, Odell was back in town last night (April 24) at Brighton Music Hall on the strength of his recent single, “Summer Day”, fresh off the Moominvalley soundtrack. With soundtracks bookending our Odell experience, Bina Zafar was at the Allston rock club capturing evidence of it all, including the moments when Odell ventured into the crowd and selected a random fan to sing his songs with him. The man is quite the performer. Scan through Zafar’s full gallery below.
