ODELL: I've played the piano since I was 6 or 7 years old. I'm 32 now. Quite a long time. I've made four albums before this one, and the piano has always played a big part of it. I actually read a book just before the album - I started making the album - by Jenny Odell. It's called "How To Do Nothing." It made me reflect on my own role in the attention economy. And everyone is competing for our attention. What that's done to art and to music is that everyone's trying to cram the most amount of information in the shortest possible time. So I wanted to create songs and an album of which created space rather than filling people's space, where our thoughts can move around with more freedom and actually they become healthier thoughts because of that.

Side guide

Throughout his school years, Odell wrote songs in a band that had trouble maintaining a lead singer. This trouble inspired him to start singing the songs he wrote, and Odell says he "sang [the songs] how [he] wanted them to sound" rather than worrying about someone else not bringing his vision to life.

Perhaps it’s because Odell sounds so completely done in on every song; if his emotions peaked and troughed then maybe there’d be something to cling on to, but Best Day of My Life is all trough. One of his most notable hits is the 2012 song titled “ Another Love“. Actually the song in question was his debut single. “Best Day of My Life” It’s a very strange and beautiful album, but there does come a point where the undulating piano and wobbling vocals start to bleed into one another; there’s not a great deal holding the songs apart.

However, in more recent times, his music hasn’t been selling as well. That said, the three studio albums Odell has released since –“Wrong Crowd” (2016), “Jubilee Road” (2018) and “Monsters” (2021) – all scored within the top five of the UK Albums Chart. Odell was signed to In the Name Of, an imprint of Columbia Records. He was discovered by the label head Lily Allen, who remarked that "his energy onstage reminded me of David Bowie". [11] He released his debut extended play, Songs from Another Love, in October 2012. [12] He made his television debut in November 2012 as a performer on Later... with Jools Holland; the show's producer Alison Howe later described it as "a classic Later debut". [7] [13] Odell was announced as one of 15 nominees for the BBC Sound of 2013 poll in January 2013. [14] Also that month, his single " Another Love" was used by the BBC to advertise their 2013 schedule. [15] Odell's music has been used in numerous Burberry fashion runway shows. [16] He was named the BRITs' Critics' Choice Award winner, previously won by artists such as Adele and Florence and the Machine and was the first male artist to win the award, [17] and was interviewed alongside previous winner Emeli Sandé during the television ceremony in February 2013.

Actual Life 3 is the third of these journalistic records – it’s not made for listening to on a weekday morning with a cup of tea. Its whispered confidences and odd echoing giggle give it an intimate feel, a bit like getting butterflies after receiving a message from someone you like.
