Wrong Crowd is the second studio album by British singer-songwriter Tom Odell. It was released on 10 June 2016.[2] Odell's first major release since his 2013 debut, Long Way Down, achieved international success, it was also his first album released via RCA Records.[3]
Background
The album was announced on 4 April 2016, along with the release of its lead single, "Wrong Crowd". Odell also released a music video for the song on the same date, in addition to the announcement of a new tour.[3] The album, released on 10 June 2016, was co-produced by Odell alongside Jim Abbiss, who has previously worked with artists like Arctic Monkeys, Kasabian and Adele.[2] Regarding the concept and production of the new album, Odell said,
I wanted the songs to sound big and dramatic; big strings and melodies emphasizing the songs further – rich in musicality and holding nothing back. The album follows a narrative of a man held at ransom by his childhood, yearning for it, yearning for nature- a desire for innocence in this perverse world in which he now lives. It’s a fictional story but the emotions and feelings are obviously ones I have felt – though the stories are elaborated and exaggerated. I wanted to create a world with a heightened sense of reality.[4]
Promotion
On 4 April 2016, Odell announced that he would go on tour and perform a series of intimate shows at venues across Europe and the United States in support of the album.[5] Tickets for his shows, titled the No Bad Days Tour, completely sold out.[6]
