LIST PICK

ODEAL SOMETHING / COMPOSURE 2

South East London RnB Singer Odeal has given us a massive gift today, as he releases his brand-new EP titled OVMBR: Roses. On this eight-track EP features two of his singles 'Something' and 'Composure 2', to which Odeal has decided to treat us by making them into a joint music video. This decision was obviously strategically made by this artist, as it shows how these two tracks interlink. In the first song the artist is singing over an afro-swing beat as he talks about wanting to be shown that he is loved, with the visuals focusing on him pursuing a girl in a diner, creating a story for us to follow. The visuals then focus on snippets of Odeal’s single '24/48', which we previously covered, before the song fades into 'Composure 2', where the RnB singer and his love interest seem to try to rekindle their relationship, with this song taking a much slower pace but still embracing the afro-swing style that was present in the first track. This was an amazing visual experience as it shows us how his EP was structured in a way that tells the listeners about the love story he embarks on, with each song focusing on a particular point in the relationship. Give these tracks a listen here now, then check out the EP to put the rest of the pieces together. -Shanice L
