Odeal - Temptress (Single)

 

Singer, songwriter, and producer Odeal releases his new single, Temptress, produced by Harry Westlake. Sampling Aaliyah’s ‘Are You That Somebody?, Temptress navigates the seductive push and pull of a temptation-fueled relationship, with Odeal’s sultry vocals simmering and intensifying as the track unfolds. The 24-year-old has embarked on one of the most talked about, transformative journeys this year, leaving a mark on both the UK and global music landscapes. With his Sundays At Zuri’s EP, featuring the summer-defining track Soh Soh (co-signed by SZA & Victoria Monet) and a killer collab with Juls, Odeal and Ovmbr are evolving into an undeniable cultural powerhouse. Ovmbr has already dominated the party scenes in London, Paris, and Malta this year, and now Odeal is hitting the road with his acclaimed EP Thoughts I Never Said. His tour spans NYC, LA, Canada, Germany, France, and the Netherlands before wrapping up with nearly sold-out shows in London and Manchester.

Born in Germany and raised across Nigeria, Spain, and the UK, Odeal's life has been a whirlwind of cultural influences, shaping his unique sound that blends Alte, R&B, and Afro into something genuinely magnetic. His rise has been nothing short of meteoric, quickly positioning him as a standout voice in the scene. Collaborating with heavyweights like Nines, Enny, K-Trap, and Gabzy, Odeal has shown how powerful just a single verse from him can be. But it's his solo work where he truly shines, carving out a fiercely distinctive sound and cementing his status as a force to be reckoned with. His discography is rich, with two of his standout tracks, "Be Easy" and "Coffee (Don’t Read Signs)," being self-produced, effortlessly showcasing the diverse range of sounds he commands. In 2017, during a month-long hospitalisation due to a life-threatening illness, Odeal grappled with the haunting fear of leaving the world without a legacy. This profound brush with mortality ignited a fire within him. What began as a personal initiative—releasing music every November—quickly transformed into a vibrant, community-driven movement in search of deeper meaning and fulfilment, giving rise to Ovmbr. Standing for “Our Variances Make Us Bold & Relentless,” Ovmbr is now at the forefront, leading the charge with consecutive sold-out parties and shows, proving that this is just the beginning of an incredible journey.

Odeal’s career highlights are impressive, featuring endorsements from prominent platforms like BBC Radio 1’s Victoria Jane, BBC 1Xtra, and Represent, along with NME, Complex, Clash, Notion, Wonderland, and Guap accolades. With nearly 4 million listeners, his fanbase spans vibrant cultural hubs such as London, Lagos, Amsterdam, Paris, and Abuja. Beyond music, Odeal has made his mark in the fashion world, starring in a Cortiez campaign and taking his place front row at shows for JW Anderson, Labrum, Ahluwalia, and more.
